I'm not surprised it doesn't work, but I think it could be made working in many cases. I also think it would be worthwhile making that work; in the process, many places will be taught to accept Unicode strings which currently don't.

[...] Sure, but it won't work martin@mira:~ > python -U [22:29] Python 2.2a0 (#336, May 29 2001, 09:28:57) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import string Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named string >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', u'/usr/src/omni/lib/python', u'/usr/src/omni/lib/i586_linux_2.0_glibc2.1', u'/usr/ilu-2.0b1/lib', u'/home/martin', u'/usr/local/lib/python2.2', u'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/plat-linux2', u'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-tk', u'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload', u'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages', u'/usr/local/lib/site-python'] The main problem (also with the SF bug report) seems to be that Unicode objects in sys.path are not accepted, but I think they should.
