sys.getfilesystemencoding() is None on most Linux computers I have access to. 
How is the problem solved there?

In fact, I have a question about this. Can anybody show me a valid 
multi-platform Python code snippet that, given a filename as *unicode* string, 
create a file with that name, possibly adjusting the name so to ignore an 
encoding problem (so that the function *always* succeed)?

def dump_to_file(unicode_filename):
     ...


I attempted this a couple of times without being satisfied at all by the 
solutions.
