What I would do if the path can be new is something like

if os.path.exists(path):
	return makeOS9abspath(path)
head, tail = os.path.split(path)
head = makeOS9abspath(head)
if len(tail) > 31 or ':' in tail:
	raise IOError, "Come up with good error message here"
return macpath.join(head, unicode(tail, 'utf8').encode('mac-roman'))
