Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4

Priority: 5 Submitted By: Skip Montanaro (montanaro) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: posix needs to generate unicode filenames where necessary

Initial Comment: Mac OS X supports Unicode filenames. At the moment this can't be enabled because when raising an IOError the filename embedded in the IOError exception (and perhaps others) is a plain string. This attribute should be a unicode object where necessary.

This can be demonstrated by building on Mac OS X with the last line of posixpath.py replaced with

if sys.platform == "darwin": supports_unicode_filenames = True else: supports_unicode_filenames = False

and running the interpreter against Lib/test/test_pep277.py.

This needs to be corrected after the 2.3 release.

Python should not generate Unicode strings for the exceptions at all. Instead, it should return the very same strings in the exceptions that the user was passing in the posix operations.
