If the Unicode APIs only have correct unicode, sure. If not you'll get errors translating to UTF-8 (and the byte APIs are supposed to pass bad names through unaltered.) Kinda ironic, no? As far as I can see all Python Unicode strings can be encoded to UTF-8, even things like lone surrogates because Python doesn't care about them. So both the Unicode API and the binary API would be fail-safe on Windows.
Python is broken and needs to be fixed.
