ehm... I get the same error. It seems to be an error INSIDE win32file...

[d:\projects\test\findfilew]python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 7, in ?
    l = f.FindFilesW(dir)
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

This was on a Windows 2000 German.

Because  I'm not sure, whether german is well known language here
I ran the same program on an XP Professional English:

[A]python
Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> ^Z


[A]python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 7, in ?
    l = f.FindFilesW(dir)
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

### Following is the result with line 7 commented out
###
[A]python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 9, in ?
    f.SetCurrentDirectory(dir)
pywintypes.error: (123, 'SetCurrentDirectory', 'The filename, directory
name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.')

Again, thank you in advance
Werner


test.py:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
dir = u'\u03b1\u03b2\u03b3.DIR'
import win32file as f
f.CreateDirectoryW(dir, None)
from os.path import join as j
f.CreateFileW(j(dir,'1'),0,0,None,f.CREATE_NEW,0,None)
f.CreateFileW(j(dir,'2'),0,0,None,f.CREATE_NEW,0,None)
l = f.FindFilesW(dir)

f.SetCurrentDirectory(dir)
