Sebastian Hagen <sh_pyb...@memespace.net> added the comment: Oh, and *forcing* use of the PEP 383 hack for such interfaces would really be the Wrong Thing. Byte sequences are the natural (and most efficient, and least prone to misunderstandings) way to store filenames on a posix-like. Storing them as unicode-except-not-really is an acceptable hack for interfaces that need to standardize on strings for some reasons, but that really doesn't apply to these functions, and I'd always store such filenames as bytes if I know I'm running on a posix-like.
