For Python1.5.2, you can try pysjis and sjisntpath module.

http://www.gembook.org/python/pysjis-zip
(source and binary for win32. Document is written in Japanese)

pysjis and sjisntpath are Japanese SJIS encoding aware version of the
standard string and sjisntpath module. To install them, just copy
sjisntpath.py, pysjis.py, sjisstrop.pyd into your PYTHONPATH.

Home this helps,
