I don't know what you mean by dropping, since OS X by construction needs a filesystem encoding (utf-8) different from the locale encoding; and Windows hardwires the decoding/encoding of bytes filenames using mbcs regardless of the current codepage, IIRC. So do you just mean the filesystem encoding should be hidden from the user? What would be the benefit? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9992> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
