No: sys.path is specified (originally) as containing a list of byte strings; it was extended to also support path importers (or whatever that PEP calls them). It was never extended to support Unicode strings. That other PEP e > I agree it's a relatively large patch for a release candidate but if > prudence suggests deferring it, it should be a *definite* for 2.5.1 and > subsequent releases. I'm not so sure it should. It *is* a new feature: it makes applications possible which aren't possible today, and the documentation does not ever suggest that these applications should have been possible. In fact, it is common knowledge that this currently isn't supported.
