This pull request changes formatting a bit; I'm sending this separately as you may not like it, so rejecting just one commit won't reject the rest :)

this patch needs to be brought up to date if you're still interested. do you have a particular reason why you don't like calling repr() on filenames and things? I think it's useful for the case of non-printable characters in filenames.

andrewshadura commented 10 years ago

I can't tell you what precisely looks bad when using repr as I have no access to my laptop at the moment, but it prints some printable characters in a way that isn't really useful unless it's seen in a debugger of some kind.

Cheers, Andrew
