What is a "correct encoding"?
I have an FTP server to which clients with different local encodings
are connecting. FTP protocol doesn't have a notion of encoding so filenames
on the filesystem are in koi8-r, cp1251 and utf-8 encodings - all in one
directory! What should os.listdir() return for that directory? What is a
correct encoding for that directory?!
If any program starts to raise errors Python becomes completely unusable
for me! But is there anything I can debug here?
Oleg.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
