If you call os.walk() with a Unicode string, it's return values will be
Unicode as well and you should be able to process files with non-ASCII
characters. This worked for me (on Windows):
import os
import shutil
import fnmatch
exportDir = u'c:\\mp3s'
a=os.walk(os.getcwdu()) # Unicode version of os.getcwd()
for root, dirs, files in a:
for currFile in files:
pathCurrFile=os.path.join(root, currFile)
if fnmatch.fnmatch(pathCurrFile,u'*.mp3'):
shutil.copy(pathCurrFile,exportDir)
else:
print pathCurrFile
