yes, its delivered by filesystem:
>>> glob.glob(u'test/*')[3]
u'sytest3\\\u041f\u043e\u0448\u0443\u043a.txt'

u'\u043a' is cyrillic:  ะบ

no matter, I guess no (small) system can know all unicode ranges in use
wordwide. The real problem is: to get a smoot, smart an tolerant setup
by default - not a mixup of 4 codecs and (most bothersome) intolerant
exception-breaks on simple tty-/win-outputs.

How to do this best and most tolerant to
platform/(python-)installation?
