I see what you mean, and yes, I think os.listdirb will do just as well. There is no need for any extra parameters to os.listdir. The typical application will just obliviously use os.listdir(dir) and get the default elide-and-warn behaviour for un-decodable names. That rare special application that needs more control can use os.listdirb and handle decoding itself. Using a global registry of error handlers would just get in the way of an application that needs more control. - Anders _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
