STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Oh! In Python3, ntpath.expanduser() supports bytes path and uses 
sys.getfilesystemencoding() to encode an unicode environment variable to a byte 
string.

Should we remove bytes path support in ntpath.expanduser(), or support bytes in 
ntpath.fsencode()/.fsdecode()?

(sys.getfilesystemencoding() is "mbcs" on Windows)
