Yes there is a certain level of knowledge required of the system configuration and python defaults for accessing the system for things like filenames. It can be coded in any of several ways.

But by the above definition of "possible flaw", that seems equivalent to saying that Python should give a warning for things like

os.unlink("my-most-important-file.doc")
