[New-bugs-announce] [issue9713] Py_CompileString fails on non decode-able paths.

[Campbell Barton]

New submission from Campbell Barton <ideasman42 at gmail.com>:

On linux I have a path which python reads as...

/data/test/num\udce9ro_bad/untitled.blend

os.listdir("/data/test/") returns this ['num\udce9ro_bad']

But the same path cant be given to the C api's Py_CompileString

Where fn is '/data/test/num\udce9ro_bad/untitled.blend/test.py'
 Py_CompileString(buf, fn, Py_file_input);

...gives this error.
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 14-16: invalid data

>From this pep, non decode-able paths should use surrogateescape's
