My point is that the poor programmer cannot ignore the possibility of "funny" character sets. If Python tried to protect the programmer from that possibility, the result might be even more intractable: how to act on a file with an non-UTF-8 filename if you are unable to express it as a text string? That's what the "surrogateescape" codec is for
Oops, that should say "codec error handled" (I got it right later in the post).
Cheers, Nick.
