[Python-Dev] Removal of Win32 ANSI API (original) (raw)

Hello. Is it possible to remove Win32 ANSI API (ie: GetFileAttributesA) and only use Win32 WIDE API (ie: GetFileAttributesW)? Mainly in posixmodule.c. I think we can simplify the code hugely. (This means droping bytes support for os.stat etc on windows)

I recently did it for winsound.PlaySound with MvL's approval

Thank you.
