Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: On Python 3, os.walk() uses the surrogateescape error handler. If the filename is in e.g. iso-8859-* and the filesystem encoding is UTF-8, decoding '\xe5' will then result in '\udce5', and '\udce5' can't then be printed because it's a lone surrogate.
