In control panel/regional settings, change the first *and*
the third tab to English. This requires a reboot.

The failure itself is harmless. test_support assumes that 

TESTFN_UNICODE = unicode("@test-\xe0\xf2", "latin-1")

is a filename that can be represented in the default file
encoding. On Windows, if the default file encoding is not
CP-1252 (as it is in the Western European installations),
this file name cannot be represented correctly in "mbcs".

To fix this, we would need to come up with procedure to
generate a file name depending on the locale. Unfortunately,
such a procedure is very difficult to implement.

How do I switch my locale to English on winXP pro?

Sounds like a locale thing - do the people seeing the bug
have the problem if they switch their locale to english?

I have the very same errors as quiver on WinXP SP1, Python
2.4a3, NTFS, locale Polish.

I can reproduce this in Python 2.4a3 on Win 2K SP4(locale is 
set to Japanese). File system is NTFS. But on my box, 
test_single_files passes OK. Only test_equivalent_files and 
test_directories raise ERROR.

Here is the result.

test_unicode_file
test_directories (test.test_unicode_file.TestUnicodeFiles) ... 
ERROR
test_equivalent_files 
(test.test_unicode_file.TestUnicodeFiles) ... ERROR
test_single_files (test.test_unicode_file.TestUnicodeFiles) ... 
ok

Yes it does :-(
I have a winXP on IBM T-40.
The other language that is installed is Hebrew.

The problem that when encoding TESTFN_UNICODE with the file
system ecoding (mbcs) the resulted string is "@test-??"
which is not a legal file name on windows

Does this still fail for you in Py2.4a3 ?
If not, please note the result and close the bug.

File system is NTFS.

winver gives:
Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633: Service Pack 1)

Are you using a FAT partition?

What precise version string do you get in winver.exe?

Sorry, I forgot I've upgraded my OS lately. This *is* WinXP Pro.
Any other data I can send?

Peculiar -- it works fine on WinXP Pro, which ought to work 
the same as Win2K here.
