David Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Hmm, yes, I see that the open() builtin doesn't accept bytes filenames, though os.open() still does. When I saw that you could pass bytes filenames transparently from os.listdir() to os.open(), I assumed that this was intentional!
So what *is* os.listdir() supposed to do when it finds an unconvertible filename? Raise an exception? Pretend the file isn't there? What if someone puts unconvertible strings in the password database? I think this is going to cause real problems for people. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3023> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
