Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: Just to clarify, Ascii files and unicode files will repr() as <open file 'tmp\foo', mode 'wb' at ...> <open file u'tmp\\foo', mode 'wb' at ...> respectively. In the former, the backslash isn't escaped, but in the latter it is. The single quotes certainly imply repr, and if this were a list, it would repr as: ['tmp\\foo'] and so I think that the ascii syntax really ought to be <open file 'tmp\\foo', mode 'wb' at ...>
The inconsistency shows up in the testsuite for test_file() when the TMPFN is t...@test (because test_support didn't succeed in creating a temp file @test) when it is checking the repr of a file opened with a unicode filename with code that corresponds exactly to code used for an string filename.
