Steve Dower added the comment: There are only two references to bytes in the pep:
> Like the other functions in the os module, scandir() accepts either a > bytes or str object for the path parameter, and returns the > DirEntry.name and DirEntry.path attributes with the same type as > path . However, it is strongly recommended to use the str type, as > this ensures cross-platform support for Unicode filenames. (On > Windows, bytes filenames have been deprecated since Python 3.3). I'm not concerned about supporting bytes here (with PEP 529, obviously), though the strong recommendation to use str should certainly stand. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
