[issue8514] Create fsencode() and fsdecode() functions in os.path

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I really, really, REALLY think that it is bad to mix issues. This makes patch review impossible.

This specific issue is about introducing an fsdecode and fsencode function; this is what the bug title says, and what the initial patch did.

Whether or not byte-oriented access to environment variables is also needed is a *separate* issue. -1 on dealing with that in this report.

FWIW, I'm +0 on adding these functions. MAL, please stop messing issue subjects. If you are fundamentally opposed to adding such functions, please request that a PEP be written or something. Otherwise, I accept the original patch.

I'm -1 on issue8514.patch; it is out-of-scope of the issue.

----------
resolution:  -> accepted
