[Pythonmac-SIG] Filename encodings on the Mac

[Jack Jansen]

In the process of getting better unicode support I'm now looking at
converting unicode strings to 8-bit strings correctly for filenames.

Python has hooks to do this, but I must say I'm rather unsure how
MacOS handles encodings. If I create a disk on a macroman system and
then bring it to a macgreek system, what will happen to my filenames?
Is it only the current script/language setting that influences how
filenames are interpreted, or does the disk (filename?) actually store
the fact that it was created on a macroman system?
