Comment (by claudep):
Ah, it's about invalid file names. Python 3 seems to handle this case much
more gracefully.
Unfortunately, the exception location and message don't allow us to tell
the user about the problematic file name.
Even if this is a bit of an edge case, I'm tempted to partially revert the
commit [dbb48d2bb99a5f6] and keep feeding `os.walk` with a bytestring on
Python 2.
The alternative would be to catch this exception and simply inform the
user to check for invalid file names in its file tree.
