Returning an error for an incorrect encoding doesn't make internationalization harder, it makes it easier because it makes debugging easier.
What is a "correct encoding"?
I have an FTP server to which clients with different local encodings are connecting. FTP protocol doesn't have a notion of encoding so filenames on the filesystem are in koi8-r, cp1251 and utf-8 encodings - all in one directory! What should os.listdir() return for that directory? What is a correct encoding for that directory?!
If any program starts to raise errors Python becomes completely unusable for me! But is there anything I can debug here?
Oleg.
