What is the problem here? Python does guess the filesystem encoding. If the encoding is "wrong" (not the value expected by the user), filenames are not displayed correctly (mojibake) but it does just work. Anyway, why is it not possible to use PYTHONFSENCODING here? Are you talking to Python modules loaded from a non-ascii path?

Sorry, but I do not understand.
