New submission from Creation Elemental <arceus...@gmail.com>: I have a few files that contain emojis in their names, and also a folder that has such. Commands like `os.getcwd`, `os.listdir`, `os.path.realpath`, etc. will cause this to happen. However, this is only, as far as I can tell, happening on pure windows distributions. This does not happen in the cygwin64 version I have, nor does it happen in python3.
For example, say you have a folder simply called 'ðŸ”'. If you run python inside of it and run `os.getcwd()` you will simply get `'??'` as the result. This breaks MANY of my programs that depend on knowing exactly where they are, and knowing the contents of a directory to pass to other functions. ---------- components: Windows messages: 333100 nosy: Creation Elemental, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os functions return '??' for unicode characters in paths on windows type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35670> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
