I have some files which came off the net with, I'm assuming, unicode

filename and puts into an emacs buffer, and then lets me add information

that new file (it's a poor man's DB).
Next, I can look up text in the file and open the saved filename.
Everything works great until I hit those darn unicode filenames.

Do you get the error with python 3?
I'm running this program on Linux (Ubuntu 19.10) and Python2.

I've taking the coward's way out and renamed the 1/2 dozen files. Seems
that it is when I grab a filename from the DB it is in unicode and the the
textAtCursor() and then I am trying to open that file using a fork to a
pdf-display program. This is all Q&D stuff so I'm going to file it under
"mysteries of life" and live with it :)
Fair enough, for such small number no other solution could be as
efficient! My quick-and-dirty 'solution' would only work for (very few)
'old data files' being recognised/name-updated using Python3.
Insert here: obligatory warning about the deprecation of Python2 at the
end of this month/year...
