New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: Attached patch deprecates the Windows ANSI API (bytes API) in the nt module. Use Unicode filenames instead of bytes filenames to not depend on the ANSI code page anymore and to support any Unicode filename.
The patch changes also os.link(), os.rename() and os.symlink() to not accept two filenames of different types: require two Unicode filenames or two bytes filenames. It is an expected change, it did it to simplify the source code. I change it if necessary. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: deprecate_win_bytes_api.patch keywords: patch messages: 147323 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Deprecate usage of the Windows ANSI API in the nt module versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23640/deprecate_win_bytes_api.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13374> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
