Hello Victor,

Hi,

I read that Python 2.6 is planned to Wednesday. One bug is is still open and important for me: Python 2.6/3.0 are unable to use filename as byte strings. http://bugs.python.org/issue3187 [...]

Is it really a 2.6 problem? I could not find any difference with 2.5 in this regard, the tests you propose still pass.

Filename manipulation: in python 2.6/3.0, os.path.*() is not compatible with the type "bytes"

With python 2.6,

bytes is str True

But I agree that this is THE unresolved issue of python 3.0.
