I think if you want low-level features (such as unconverted bytes paths under
POSIX), it is reasonable to point you to low-level APIs.
The problem with scandir() in particular is that there is
currently *no* low-level API exposed that gives the same
functionality.
If scandir() is not to support bytes paths, I'd suggest
exposing the opendir() and readdir() system calls with
bytes path support.
scandir is low level (the entire os module is low level). In fact, aside from
pathlib, I'd consider pretty much every
API we have that deals with paths to be low level - that's a large part of the
reason we needed pathlib!
If scandir is low-level, and the low-level API's are the ones that should support bytes paths, then scandir should
support bytes paths.
Is that what you meant to say?
