[New-bugs-announce] [issue25911] Regression: os.walk now using os.scandir() breaks bytes filenames on windows

[Bastien Montagne]

New submission from Bastien Montagne:

In py3.4 and below we used to be able to use bytes filenames with os.walk(), it’s now impossible under windows due to the limitation of os.scandir().

This issue was reported to Blender tracker (https://developer.blender.org/T47018).

I assume this should be considered as a regression? At least, this should be mentioned in the documentation…

Thanks,
Bastien
