This is (annoying) but expected behaviour, due to the way byte and unicode filenames are handled in Python 2.x. To get around it, just pass a unicode string instead of a byte string to scandir, like you're doing with open()
, for example:
scandir.scandir(u"C:\Temp\xx鳭僣yy.txt")
Let me know if this works. Note that this is (or it should be!) the same behaviour as os.listdir() on Python 2.x.
from scandir.
Sorry, I said "filename" and copied the unicode filename rather than the unicode directory.
But no, my module isn't "broken". :-) It's operating by design, as per os.listdir()
. The behaviour of bytes paths on Windows is kinda weird -- if you pass in a byte string, you get out byte strings with non-ASCII chars replaced by ?
characters on Windows. This is different from on Linux, where you get UTF-8. So bytes paths are kind of half broken on Windows Python.
What you need to do is simply path a unicode path to scandir. Like so:
>>> os.mkdir('temp')
>>> f = open(u'temp\\xx\u9ced\u50e3yy.txt', 'w') # create a unicode filename
>>> f.close()
>>> [e.name for e in scandir.scandir('temp')] # this is what you are doing
['xx??yy.txt']
>>> [e.name for e in scandir.scandir(u'temp')] # this is what you need to do
[u'xx\u9ced\u50e3yy.txt']
>>> [e.name.encode('utf-8') for e in scandir.scandir(u'temp')] # or as UTF-8
['xx\xe9\xb3\xad\xe5\x83\xa3yy.txt']
Note that, by design, this exactly matches the behaviour of os.listdir()
on Python 2.x:
>>> os.listdir('temp')
['xx??yy.txt']
>>> os.listdir(u'temp')
[u'xx\u9ced\u50e3yy.txt']
from scandir.
