An example error with abspath and bytes input:
>>> os.path.abspath('.')
'C:\\Users\\yuv\\Desktop\\YuvDesktop\\\u05d0\u05d1\u05d2\u05d3\u05d4\u05d5'
>>> os.path.abspath(b'.')
b'C:\\Users\\yuv\\Desktop\\YuvDesktop\\??????'
>>> os.listdir(os.path.abspath(b'.'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label
syntax is incorrect: 'C:\\Users\\yuv\\Desktop\\YuvDesktop\\??????/*.*'
>>>
I couldn't follow the implementation, I got stuck not being able to locate the
definition for os.getcwdb so I couldn't join you for that part. Here's another
possible solution:
>>> win32api.GetFullPathName('.')
'C:\\Users\\yuv\\Desktop\\YuvDesktop\\\u05d0\u05d1\u05d2\u05d3\u05d4\u05d5'
>>> win32api.GetShortPathName(win32api.GetFullPathName('.'))
'C:\\Users\\yuv\\Desktop\\YUVDES~1\\5F30~1'
The short path is ascii but the problem is not all windows file systems have
8.3 filenames [1]. So I think your suggestion is the best solution.
