Humour aside :), the expectation that filenames are Unicode data simply doesn't agree with the reality of POSIX file systems. I think an approach similar to that adopted by glib [1] could work
Are you saying that the approach presented in the PEP will not work? I believe it would work no matter whether that expectation agrees with reality or not. The amount of moji-bake that you get is larger when the disagreement is larger, but it will continue to work.
Regards, Martin
