(There has never been a Python 27. I assume Python 2.7 is what you meant.)

You may already know that Python 2 handles international text a lot less
consistently than Python 3.

Is it at all feasible for you to use Python 3 instead? Text handling is
specifically a big advantage of Python 3.

> it always gave a error that "No such file or directory:"

Please give a complete, small example:

* The actual filenames.

* The exact filesystem encoding that filesystem uses. Be sure to verify that!

* A very small, but complete, Python program which exhibits the
  behaviour. We will need to be able to run the same program.

* The complete error output (the full traceback).
