What do other people think on both these issues? I'm pretty sure the discussion on this topic a while back decided that where necessary Python 3 would grow parallel bytes versions of APIs affected by environmental encoding issues (such as os.environb, os.listdirb, os.getcwdb), but that we were OK with the idea of deferring addition of those APIs until 3.1. That is, this was an acknowledged limitation with a fairly straightforward agreed solution, but it wasn't considered a common enough issue to delay the release of 3.0 until all of those parallel APIs had been implemented Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia ---------------------------------------------------------------
