The official policy is that we want them [support for bytes paths in stdlib
functions] to go away, but reality so far has not budged. We will continue to
hold our breath though. :-)
Does that mean that new APIs should explicitly not support bytes? I'm
thinking of os.scandir() (PEP 471), which I'm implementing at the
moment. I was originally going to make it support bytes so it was
compatible with listdir, but maybe that's a bad idea. Bytes paths are
essentially broken on Windows.
Bytes paths are "essential" on Unix, though, so I don't think we should
create new low-level APIs that don't support bytes.
Fair enough. I don't quite understand, though -- why is the "official
policy" to kill something that's "essential" on *nix?
PEP 383 should actually work on Unix quite well, AFAIR.

Antoine.
