Not for me (I am using Python 2.6.2). >>> f = open(chr(255), 'w') Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('w') or filename: '\xff' >>>

You can get the same error on Linux:

$ python Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

f=open(chr(255),'w') Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('w') or filename: '\xff'

(Some file system drivers do not enforce valid utf8 yet, but I suspect they will in the future.)
