A. Your reason for emailing us off-list makes no sense. The list would
garner you more and about as quick responses, not to mention the value
it adds through public archiving. CC-ing us /might/ have made slight
sense.
B. This is your problem:
v = unicode(full_path,errors='skip')
I'd advise you to read the docs for `unicode`, particularly what using
'skip' as the value of `errors` does.
Good day.
