New submission from Eric L. <ewl+pyt...@lavar.de>:
In chapter 3.1.2. Removing the MAX_PATH Limitation of https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#removing-the-max-path-limitation (also in 3.9 and 3.10), it is written that "(Use of bytes as paths is deprecated on Windows, and this feature is not available when using bytes.)" but my understanding is that since 3.8 bytes paths are _not_ deprecated any more under Windows (and it is good so!), which makes unclear if the feature is still not available with bytes paths. In which case, it should be implemented. I'm sorry I couldn't test if it actually works or not but I'm stuck with Python 3.7 where I guess the statement is still correct, but I hope to see the issue fixed once I can upgrade :-) ---------- components: Windows messages: 370414 nosy: ericzolf, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wrong statement that bytes paths are deprecated under Windows regarding MAX_PATH docs type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40831> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
