Your test will probably catch most cases, but it could fail
for e.g. UTF-16.

The only true test would be to first convert to Unicode and then
try to convert back to ASCII. If you get an error you can be
sure that
the text is not ASCII compatible. Given that .listdir()
involves lots of
IO I think the added performance hit wouldn't be noticable.
