[issue16656] os.walk ignores international dirs on Windows

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

This critical bug is one of the reasons that non-English speaking communities doesn't adopt Python as broadly as it happens in English world compared to other technologies (PHP etc.). 


# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os

os.mkdir(u'Русское имя')
os.mkdir(u'English name')

for r, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
  print dirs


This gives:
['English name']
[]


Windows Vista.
>dir /b
English name
test.py
Русское имя
