AFAIK, Apache is in the same boat as ftp servers. You're thinking of the encoding inside of the files. The problem is with the file names themselves.
Mostly yes. But Apache is so powerful I can do (and really did) a lot of tricks - I can change LC_CTYPE with mod_env, I can map URLs to the filesystem using mod_rewrite/ScriptAlias... FTP servers don't need to be that smart, but I'd like them to be more configurable WRT filename encoding. But well, they are not, so the only thing to discuss is what to do with ftplib and pyftpd. My not so humble opinion is - either use bytes instead of strings or use latin-1 because it is the straightforward encoding that preserves all 8 bits.
Oleg.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.- Previous message: [Python-Dev] Should ftplib use UTF-8 instead of latin-1 encoding?
