Summary: access fails on Windows with Unicode file name

Initial Comment:
Using current CVS version of Python 2.4 on Windows 
2000.
The os.access function fails when the filename argument 
is a Unicode string:

  File "test_pep277.py", line 103, in test_directory
    os.access(filename,os.R_OK)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode 
character '\udf' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I will upload a patch to fix this in the patch manager.
