I receive the following warning when running the test_unicode_file unit tests out of the trunk (60758) python -E -tt ../../lib/test/regrtest.py -g "test_unicode_file" test_unicode_file D:\work\pytrunk\lib\test\test_unicode_file.py:103: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal filename1==filename2 D:\work\pytrunk\lib\shutil.py:36: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal os.path.normcase(os.path.abspath(dst))) 1 test OK. It looks like the warning was meant to be suppressed in test_unicode_file.py line 104: # Try using shutil on the filenames. try: filename1==filename2 except UnicodeDecodeError: # these filenames can't be compared - shutil.copy tries to do # just that. This is really a bug in 'shutil' - if one of shutil's # 2 params are Unicode and the other isn't, it should coerce the # string to Unicode with the filesystem encoding before comparison. pass This does not handle the UnicodeWarning, was it meant to?

That try/except no longer exists on trunk. This issue can probably be closed.

Closing as "out of date".
