This surprising exception can even be a security issue:

os.stat(path)
ValueError: embedded null byte
Most other analogous reasons *don't* generate an exception, nor is that
possibility mentioned in the specification:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html?#os.path.exists
Is the behavior a bug? Shouldn't it be:
>>> os.path.exists("\0")
False
Please open an issue on the tracker if there is not one for this already.
