Category: Windows Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: os.path.abspath() / os.chdir() buggy with unicode paths Initial Comment: Hi, Under Windows Explorer, one can create directory names using characters not belonging to the user locale. For example, one of our users created a directory named "C:\Mes Documents\コピー ～ solipsis_svn". Unfortunately, when trying to manipulate such a pathname, os.path.abspath() and os.chdir() don't work hand in hand. os.path.abspath() uses the garbled directory name as displayed by the command prompt and then os.chdir() refuses the path: C:\>cd "C:\Mes Documents\??? ~ solipsis_svn" C:\Mes Documents\??? ~ solipsis_svn>python Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> >>> import os >>> os.curdir '.' >>> os.path.abspath(os.curdir) 'C:\Mes Documents\??? ~ solipsis_svn' >>> os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.curdir)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
