[Tutor] listdir, ispath and unicode (followup question)

[Poor Yorick]

Thank you for your previous responses.  I am still having this difficulty:

 >>> filename = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), os.listdir(os.getcwd())[0])
 >>> filename
'd:\\tmp2\\???????'
 >>> os.path.isfile(filename)
0


The file, 'd:\\tmp2\\???????', is a text file which I created for 
testing this problem.  Any ideas why os.path.isfile function does not 
recognize this file?
