Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I think skipping the test entirely would be even better on Darwin. The test is really meant to pass only on systems that treat file names as uninterpreted byte sequences (as such, it may also fail on Linux if the file system driver enforces UTF-8). To skip it,

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Here's a patch that fixes the test failures for me. It's not ideal, because it no longer tests that on OS X, it's possible to open a file created with an invalid filename, using that same name. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/f
