Comment #2 on issue 643 by pekka.klarck: [Jython] UnicodeDecodeError in
OperatingSystem.List Files In Directory when File contains Umlauts
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=643
There could be a bug in os.path in [PJ]ython 2.5, but in this particular
case the real root cause is different Jython bug [1]. In our case
os.listdir is called with a Unicode string as an argument it should then
also return Unicode strings [2]. As explained in [1], os.listdir in Jython
2.5.1 always returns byte strings (str).

We have actually been bitten by this bug already earlier. The same problem
occurred when parsing test data in files with non-ASCII names, and we have
a workaround for it in robot/parsing/populators.py. The just tested that
the same workaround works in this case too. The workaround code is
attached. I don't want to commit it yet because it needs to be cleaned up a
little and this bug also needs acceptance tests.
