Given that the claim "Python 2 doesn't support Unicode filenames" is factually incorrect (in Python 2.7, most filesystem calls in fact do support Unicode, at least on some platforms), I think individual functions in the os module that are found lacking should be considered bugs, and if someone goes through the effort to supply an otherwise acceptable fix, we shouldn't reject it on the basis that we don't want to consider supporting Unicode filenames. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
