Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Serhiy is exactly right, but to emphasise, the best way to do paths now is to use argument clinic with its path_t type. On Windows, .narrow is a flag that indicates whether you should PyUnicode_FSEncode() any results before returning them, and .wide is always initialized correctly.

Do not use any *A APIs - only *W from now on :)
