[New-bugs-announce] [issue22862] os.walk fails on undecodable filenames

[Florian Höch]

New submission from Florian Höch:

If 'top' is an unicode directory name, os.listdir can still return non-unicode filenames if they can't be decoded. This case is not handled in the Python 2.x standard library version of os.walk and will cause join(top, name) to fail on such filenames with an UnicodeDecodeError.
