[python-win32] file name contains brackets got converted to %5B and %5D

[Christoph J. Dorner]

Hi,

I am not sure If I gto the context, it is hard to understand what you
have done witht he limited description.

But I guess you passed a filename to a COM object ?
Try to escape the brackets.
And check for problems arising a) from the different notation
conventions for pathnames and b) differences in unicode treatment in
Python an COM.

Regards
Christoph
