Alexandre's mangle loop doesn't do the same job as mine. Chars like _ and - aren't removed from the encoding name and the if clauses don't catch for example UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 only UTF8 or ISO8859-1. Also he has overseen a PyString_Check in the code repr function. I'm working on a better mangler and I believe that I can make Py_FilesystemEncoding available much earlier in Py_InitializeEx(). *after some debugging* I fear that we are on the wrong path. Py_FileSystemEncoding is set *much* later in the boot strapping process unless its value is hard coded (Win32 and Apple only). Any attempt to get the right codec or even a normalized name without the codecs package is going to extremely hard. We have to get the codecs up and Py_FileSystemEncoding before we can decode the filenames. :( I think that the problem needs much more attention and a proper fix.
