[New-bugs-announce] [issue13848] io.open() doesn't check for embedded NUL characters

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

>>> open("\x00abc")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

Contrast with 2.x open():

>>> open("\x00abc")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: file() argument 1 must be encoded string without NULL bytes, not str
