[New-bugs-announce] [issue37282] os problems on absolute paths containing unicode characters on windows

[Jonatã Bolzan Loss]

New submission from Jonatã Bolzan Loss <jbopen at gmail.com>:

If a absolute path is provided for some function on os module, it returns "WinError 3".

Example (considering you are on C:\Users\username):

import os                                                                                                           os.mkdir(u'Examşplü')
os.listdir(u'C:\\Users\username\Examşplü')

Result:

Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>                                                                                   FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\Users\\username\\Examşplü'
