Campbell Barton added the comment: @haypo, I checked available info online and couldn't find any reference to byte file-paths were deprecated since Python3.2.
On the contrary, the 3.2 release notes [0] state: "countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support for a bytes environment (filenames, environment variables)" ---- Also docs for open 3.2 [1] and 3.5 [2] say that byte filenames are supported with no mention of deprecation. Since this is already working properly in 3.5 for other systems besides ms-windows, and worked in 3.4x. Dropping support on a single platform seems a rather problematic regression. ---- [0]: https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/ [1]: https://docs.python.org/3.2/library/functions.html#open [2]: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/functions.html#open ---------- nosy: +ideasman42 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
