Unless you only ever deal with "Unix folk", it's not /that/ uncommon to encounter filenames which are essentially complete sentences, punctuation included. FWIW, I've found that a significant proportion of "why can't I burn this file to a CD" queries are because the Joliet extension to ISO-9660 "only" allows 64 characters in a filename. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
