I'm not interested in the InvalidFilename class; it's an API complification that might seem right for your situation but will hinder most other people. However I am interested in a patch that makes os.unlink() (and as many other functions as you can think of) accept bytes. You'll have to think what encoding to use on Windows though, since (AFAIK) the Windows filesystem APIs do use Unicode.
