Not directly. The A versions are still used if you pass byte strings as file names. It would be possible to convert byte strings to Unicode strings (using CP_ACP), but I would only want to consider that if the code complexity does not increase under that approach (which I doubt). FWIW, the unicode_file_names function *is* removed in Python 2.7.
