Christoph Reiter added the comment:
Raising in case no valid path is passed seems fine to me. There are other cases
where it fails:
python3 -c "import os; os.path.exists('\ud83d')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/genericpath.py", line 19, in exists
os.stat(path)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\ud83d' in position
0: surrogates not allowed
LANG=C python3 -c "import os; os.path.exists('\xff')" ~
Traceback (most recent call last):
