Python 3 and bytes in filenames

Hi guys,

This PEP is part of the newly released Python 3.1 beta:

  http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0383/

It describes an encoding error handler which can be used when
filenames might contain bytes that cannot be decoded into Unicode
characters using the sys.getfilesystemencoding() encoding.

It might be of interest to us, or at least to Alejandro Santos who is
doing the Hg on Py3K GSOC project (heh, lots of acronyms there :-)
