Bug in win32file.FindFilesW ?

[Werner Merkl]

Hi everyone,


like more of you, I like python and I like -- or better NEED -- to use it
within windows. Some of the functions of module "os" has some
known problems with unicode, used as file name or directory name.
 So I tried to replace it with some windows extention modules.
And most of them work fine. But...

  Is the following behaviour of win32file.FindFileW as expected?

  If not, is it my fault?

  If not so, is it a bug?

  And if it was a bug, where should I send it to?

PythonWin 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

>>> dir = u'\u03b1\u03b2\u03b3.DIR'
>>> import win32file as f
>>> f.CreateDirectoryW(dir, None)
>>> from os.path import join as j
>>> f.CreateFileW(j(dir,'1'),0,0,None,f.CREATE_NEW,0,None)

>>> f.CreateFileW(j(dir,'2'),0,0,None,f.CREATE_NEW,0,None)

>>> f.FindFilesW(dir)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)


!!!! BTW: ">>> f.SetCurrentDirectory(dir)" brings also an ERROR!!!!

Thanx in advance
