i agree that it does not look very nice.
but does this look nicer? :)
path = u'some path'
files = os.listdir(path)
def check_and_fix_wrong_filename(file):
if isinstance(file,unicode):
return file
else:
#somehow convert it to unicode, and return it
files = [check_and_fix_wrong_filename(f) for f in files]
in other words, your opinion is that the proposed solution is not
optimal, or that the current behavior is fine?
