[issue13717] print fails on unicode '\udce5' surrogates not allowed

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

On Python 3, os.walk() uses the surrogateescape error handler.  If the filename is in e.g. iso-8859-* and the filesystem encoding is UTF-8, decoding '\xe5' will then result in '\udce5', and '\udce5' can't then be printed because it's a lone surrogate.
