Thank you for your bug report; and yes, you're right. We are using PyArg_ParseTuple() to parse the string. We currently use the format string "s" for parsing file names. If you happen to know the best format string we could use that accepts bytes strings as well, please let us know. It has to work with Python 2.7 as well. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
