[Python-Dev] readlink and unicode strings (SF:1580674)

• Previous message: [Python-Dev] readlink and unicode strings (SF:1580674) Patch http://www.python.org/sf/1580674 fixes readlink's behaviour w.r.t. Unicode strings: without this patch this function uses the system default encoding instead of the filesystem encoding to convert Unicode objects to plain strings. Like os.listdir, os.readlink will now return a Unicode object when the argument is a Unicode object. What I'd like to know is if this can be backported to the 2.5 branch. The first part of this patch (use filesystem encoding instead of the system encoding) is IMHO a bugfix, the second part might break existing applications (that might not expect a unicode result from os.readlink). The reason I did this patch is that os.path.realpath currently breaks when the path is a unicode string with non-ascii characters and at least one element of the path is a symlink. Ronald

Sorry about that, I guess it's time to book a course on basic  
computer usage :-(
