You can get the same error on Linux:
$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f=open(chr(255),'w')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('w') or filename: '\xff'
>>>
(Some file system drivers do not enforce valid utf8 yet, but I suspect they
will in the future.)
