The evidence suggests that using the Carbon APIs, NUL is just another Unicode character. Whatever API replaces Carbon, it will have to deal with file names created under Carbon, and classic Mac, and so likely will support the same.
Thsi raises the interesting quesion of what happens if you use Carbon to create a file name containing a null, and then try to access it throught the BSD API. Does the file become inaccessible? Does the NUL get turned into some kind of escape sequence? -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
