The convention in the unicode file name support is that calls with unicode arguments return unicode results: >>> h = "e:\\unicode" >>> import os >>> for p,d,f in os.walk(h): ... print p, "!", d, "!", f ... e:\unicode ! [] ! ['ko.py', 'abc', 'ascii', 'Gr\xfc\xdf-Gott', 'uni.py', 'Ge??-sa?', '????????????', '??????', '???', '????G\xdf', '???', 'unilin.py'] >>> for p,d,f in os.walk(unicode(h, "latin1")): ... print p, "!", d, "!", f ... e:\unicode ! [] ! [u'ko.py', u'abc', u'ascii', u'Gr\xfc\xdf-Gott', u'uni.py', u'\u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03ac-\u03c3\u03b1\u03c2', u'\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435', u'\u05d4\u05e9\u05e7\u05e6\u05e5\u05e1', u'\u306b\u307d\u3093', u'\u66e8\u05e9\u3093\u0434\u0393\xdf', u'\u66e8\u66e9\u66eb', u'unilin.py'] Neil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
