STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Lib/os.py may also be patched to add a Python implementation. Eg.
def fsdecode(value): if isinstance(value, str): return value elif isinstance(value, bytes): encoding = sys.getfilesystemencoding() if encoding == 'mbcs': return value.decode(encoding) else: return value.decode(encoding, 'surrogateescape') else: raise TypeError("expect bytes or str, not %s" % type(value).__name__) -- Note: Solution (1) (use bytes API) is not deprecated by this issue. PyUnicode_FSConverter is still useful if the underlying library has a bytes API (eg. OpenSSL only supports char*). Solution (2) is preferred if we have access to a character API, eg. Windows wide character API. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9542> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
