Finally, in most places Python 2.7 \*does\* handle Unicode filenames just fine.

I'm a bit confused. In this example:


You are proposing that the issue should be considered a bug and a well-written patch accepted?

Or is is just too late for 2.7 ?

Personally I think that having some, but not all file functions accept unicode paths is pretty broken....and fixing these kinds of thing will ease 2 to 3 transition, so a good thing overall.
