[Python-Dev] Should ftplib use UTF-8 instead of latin-1 encoding?

However, an ftp server is different. It might start up with an empty
folder, and receive *all* of its files through upload. Then it can
certainly know what encoding the file names have on disk. It *could*
also support operation on pre-existing files, e.g. by providing a
configuration directive telling the encoding of the file names, or
by ignoring all file names that are not encoded in UTF-8.

Martin
