I'm afraid I need to re-open this issue.
Although passing unicode names to rmtree fixes the issue on Windows systems, it
causes problems on Linux systems where LC_ALL=C. Consider this script:
#################################
# encoding: utf-8
from __future__ import unicode_literals
import os
import shutil
os.mkdir('temp')
with open('temp/Слава Україні.html'.encode('utf-8'), 'w'):
pass
print(os.listdir(b'temp')[0])
shutil.rmtree('temp')
#################################
Invoked thus, a UnicodeDecodeError occurs:
vagrant@trusty:/vagrant$ LC_ALL=C python2.7 issue24672.py
Слава Україні.html
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "issue24672.py", line 15, in <module>
shutil.rmtree('temp')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shutil.py", line 241, in rmtree
fullname = os.path.join(path, name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 80, in join
path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 1: ordinal
not in range(128)
This is the same error seen trying to rmtree an extraction of Sphinx (a package
containing an offending non-ascii character)::
vagrant@trusty:/vagrant$ wget

Is the solution to call rmtree with unicode on Windows, but with bytes when on
Python 2 and Linux? What else can be done?
