2010-11-30 Thread Martin v. Löwis
It'd be great if all programs used the same encoding on a given OS, but at least on Linux, I believe historically filenames have been created with different encodings. IOW, if I pick one encoding and go with it, filenames written in some other encoding are likely to cause problems. So I

2010-11-30 Thread Martin v. Loewis
The world does not revolve around Python. Unix filenames have been encoding-agnostic long before Python was around. If Python3 does not support this then it's a regression on Python's part. Fortunately, Python 3 does support that. Regards, Martin --

This sounds like a strong prospect for how to get things working (I didn't realize open would accept a bytes argument for the filename), but I'm also interested in whether reading filenames from stdin and subsequently opening them is supposed to just work given a suitable encoding - like with
