Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: Maybe os.path.supports_unicode_filenames should be deprecated. The doc currently says: "True if arbitrary Unicode strings can be used as file names (within limitations imposed by the file system), and if os.listdir() returns Unicode strings for a Unicode argument."
On Linux both the things work, even if the value of os.path.supports_unicode_filenames is still False: >>> os.path.supports_unicode_filenames False >>> open(u'fòòbàr', 'w') <open file u'f\xf2\xf2b\xe0r', mode 'w' at 0x9470778> >>> os.listdir(u'.') [u'f\xf2\xf2b\xe0r', ...] >>> open(u'fòòbàr') <open file u'f\xf2\xf2b\xe0r', mode 'r' at 0x9470778> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue767645> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
