scandir is low level (the entire os module is low level). In fact, aside

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?
Yes. The discussions around PEP 471 *deferred* discussions of bytes
and file descriptor support to their own RFEs (not needing a PEP),
they didn't decide definitively not to support them. So Serhiy's
thread is entirely pertinent to that question.
Thanks for clearing that up. I hate feeling confused. ;)
Note that adding bytes support still *should not* hold up the initial
PEP 471 implementation - it should be done as a follow on RFE.
Agreed.
