Very confusing but very interesting. I'm trying to follow as I'm the main
maintainer of the rdiff-backup software, which goes cross-platforms, so these
small differences might become important.
Now, looking into the docs, following your explanations, I noticed
New submission from Eric L. :
The os.path documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html
states that:

Eric L. added the comment:
The question is if only the statement that bytes are deprecated is wrong, but
also if the long path feature is supported with bytes or not. As written, I'm a
Linux guy, I don't feel like I have the pre-requisites to check this properly
New submission from Eric L. :
In chapter 3.1.2. Removing the MAX_PATH Limitation of
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#removing-the-max-path-limitation
(also in 3.9 and 3.10), it is written that "(Use of bytes as paths is

Well, your decision but, as a user of the library, it didn't feel like a new
feature just like a bug to be fixed, the main issue being the inconsistent
handling of bytes vs. str.

I would definitely prefer to have bytes paths considered as 1st class
citizen.

I can, if you don't tell me that I need to setup a full-blown Python
development environment to do this.

Sorry, I uploaded by mistake an early version of the patch. The new one is the
one I had actually tested (the old one would fail with mixing bytes and string
under certain circumstances, I can't remember any more).

If we put the following one liner right after sqlite_inc_paths is

New submission from Eric L. Frederich [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
In setup.py, the paths that it searches for sqlite in is hard coded in a
list sqlite_inc_paths.
This should also search any path in either $PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
This is necessary for non-default installations of sqlite for users
