I tried the patch on my import_unicode branch and it doesn't work if the locale encoding is not ASCII (as the current code doesn't work if the locale encoding is not UTF-8, #8611). If Py_FileSystemUnicodeEncoding is NULL: PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() should use mbcstowcs() and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() should use wcstombcs(). They may reuse _Py_wchar2char() and _Py_char2wchar(). "ascii" should be used in initfsencoding().
