Use "surrogateescape" error handler when encoding unicode paths. #3

Closed jborg closed 10 years ago

jborg commented 11 years ago

On Python 3 functions like os.listdir() always returns unicode paths. "invalid" byte paths are decoded using the "surrogateescape" error handler which must also be used when decoding. See os.fsencodefs() and os.fsdecode().

Hmm, I don't like too much the "silent" handling of errors via surogateescape, but if Python itself does this, then it's good enough.

Released in version 0.5.3 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyxattr/0.5.3). Thanks!
