The byte versions of the underlying OS APIs use a 256-chara

Certainly not impossible: you could write your own wrapper function:
def extended_path(p):
return r"\\?
It sounds to me more like it is possible to use long file names on windows
but it is a pain and in python, on windows it is basically impossible.
So shouldn't it be possible to maniulate these files with extended names..
I mean even if you had to use some special function to ask for long names
it

Hi,
