I think if you want low-level features (such as unconverted bytes paths under POSIX), it is reasonable to point you to low-level APIs. The problem with scandir() in particular is that there is currently no low-level API exposed that gives the same functionality. If scandir() is not to support bytes paths, I'd suggest exposing the opendir() and readdir() system calls with bytes path support.
scandir is low level (the entire os module is low level). In fact, aside from pathlib, I'd consider pretty much every API we have that deals with paths to be low level - that's a large part of the reason we needed pathlib!
Cheers, Nick.
