Interestingly, with Steve's proposed changes, their approach of using bytes paths internally should "just work" on Windows in UTF-8 mode, even without their syspath converter. So I may be being unduly pessimistic in assuming this will be useful primarily for network services - cross-platform desktop development may benefit as well. (The additional info doesn't change my view that we'd benefit from a release cycle's worth of availability as an opt-in provisional behaviour though) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
