Alexey Borzenkov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Martin, I cleared the flag bit because filename was changed in-place, to mark that filename does not need further processing. This was primarily compatibility concern, to accommodate for situations where users try to do such decoding in their own code (this way flag won't be there, so their code won't trigger). Without clearing the flag bit, calling _decodeFilenameFlags second time will fail, as well as any similar user code.
I suggest that if users want to know if filename is unicode, they should check that filename is of class unicode. _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1734346> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
