os.DirEntry doesn't support bytes: os.scandir() only accept str. It's a deliberate choice. 3.5.0 scandir supports bytes: --> huh = list(scandir(b'.')) --> huh [<DirEntry b'minicourse-ajax-project'>, <DirEntry b'js'>, <DirEntry_ _b'_MACOSX'>, <DirEntry b'index.xaml'>, <DirEntry b'css'>, <DirEntry_ _b'index.html'>] --> huh[0].path b'./minicourse-ajax-project'

Maybe it's the bytes support in scandir that should be deprecated? (And not bytes support in general, which cannot be done on posix, as I hear Stephen T. will tell me).
