What? open() builtin, io.open() and os.open() accept bytes filename. > So what *is* os.listdir() supposed to do when it finds an > unconvertible filename? Raise an exception? os.listdir(str)->str raises an exception on undecodable filename, whereas os.listdir(bytes)->bytes doesn't write unicode error because the filename is not decoded! > What if someone puts unconvertible strings in the password database? Which database? It sounds like a different issue. It's always a good thing to reject undecodable string, even with python2 ;-) ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3023> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
