I'm trying to open files with names that contain Japanese characters, and found that win32file.CreateFile would raise an exception indicating that 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect'. I found win32file.CreateFileW (documented to deal with 'unicode'), and that did return a handle for me. What puzzles me is that both functions take a PyUNICODE filename, so I just assumed that CreateFile would deal with the unicode pathname I was giving it. So, my question is, should I just use win32file.CreateFileW instead of win32file.CreateFile, and is it safe to use for all file handles, including those that do not have wide characters?
