> Another option btw is to use utf-16

UTF-8, UTF-16 or any encoding different than the ANSI code page are not an 
option. The Windows bytes API expect filenames encoded to the ANSI code page. 
os.listdir() would raise an error (unknown directory) or return an empty list 
instead of the content of the directory.
