Which charset is used when you use bytes filename? I read somewhere that it's 
the "current codepage". How can the user get this codepage in Python? I ask 
this to complete my document:
  http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python3UnicodeDecodeError

Don't hesitate to edit directly the document, which may also be moved to 
Python3 Doc/ directory.

You should also support bytearray() in ntpath:
   isinstance(path, (bytes, bytearray))

The unit tests might use pure unicode on Windows and bytes on Linux, 
especially getcwd() vs getcwdb().

I don't have Windows nor Mac to test bytes filenames on these systems.
