[New-bugs-announce] [issue17212] os.path.isfile() in Python 3.3 sometimes fails

[G. Poore]

New submission from G. Poore:

os.path.isfile() sometimes incorrectly reports that a file does not exist under Python 3.3 (only tested under Windows).  This may be encoding related.  The issue only appears under a very particular set of circumstances; see comments in the attached script.  The attached script demonstrates the issue by testing for an arbitrary file x.txt (you will need to create a file with that name for the test script to work).
