[Python-Dev] PEP 383: Non-decodable Bytes in System Character Interfaces

[Glenn Linderman]

On approximately 4/29/2009 12:38 AM, came the following characters from 
the keyboard of Baptiste Carvello:
> Glenn Linderman a écrit :
>>
>> 3. When an undecodable byte 0xPQ is found, decode to the escape 
>> codepoint, followed by codepoint U+01PQ, where P and Q are hex digits.
>>

> The problem with this strategy is: paths are often sliced, so your 2 
> codepoints could get separated. The good thing with the PEP's strategy 
> is that 1 character stays 1 character.

Except for half-surrogates that are in the file names already, which get 
converted to 3 characters.
