Maybe this issue is outdated in 3.6 (thanks to PEP 529), but this still is a 
problem under 3.5 and 2.7.

Steve Kowalik added the comment:

I've looked at the documentation for both Python 3.5 and 3.6, and I think this 
is all fine -- things like os.environb and os.getcwdb() are clearly stated as 
not available on Windows, and the path functions look to work fine in my 
testing.

As #13247 has been closed not a bug and #16656 won't fix shouldn't this be 
done sooner rather than later?

[issue16700] Document that bytes OS API can returns unusable results on Windows

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Some OS functions which returns bytes (os.environb, os.getenvb(), os.getcwdb(), 
os.listdir(), os.readlink(), os.walk(), os.path.abspath(), 
os.path.expanduser(), os.path.expandvars(), os.path.realpath() and may be 
other) can return unusable result on Windows (see for example issue13247 and 
issue16656). The documentation should contains strong warnings about this.
