[New-bugs-announce] [issue8468] bz2: support surrogates in filename, and bytes/bytearray filename

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

bz2 uses "s" format to parse the filename argument: it uses the default (unicode) encoding to encode the unicode filename to a byte string. It should use the default file system encoding instead.

It should also support surrogates in unicode filename and bytes/bytearray filenames.

Attached patch uses PyUnicode_FSConverter() to implement that.
