Apparently, os.access was forgotten when the file system encoding was introduced in Python 2.2, and then it was again forgotten in PEP 277.
I've now fixed it in the trunk (posixmodule.c:2.334), and I wonder whether this is a backport candidate. People who try to invoke os.access with a non-ASCII filename on non-NT+ systems will get a UnicodeError; with the patch, the operation will succeed (assuming the characters are all supported in the file system encoding). Should this be backported?
