Since 3.3, functions of the os module started to emit DeprecationWarning when called with bytes filenames. (...) Recently, an user complained that os.walk() doesn't work with bytes on Windows anymore: (...)

It's also sad to see that deprecation warnings are completly ignored. Python 3.3 was release in 2011, 5 years ago.

I would prefer to show deprecation warnings by default. But I know that it's an old debate: developers vs users :-) I like to see my users as potential developers ;-)
