can not zip chinese filename

[chengshwu]

pyminizip.compress("D:\py\测试文件.txt", None, "D:\py\test.zip", "password", 5)

it will give the error :
Exception "unhandled OSError"
error in opening D:\py\测试文件.txt for reading

I don't think that this is a issue related to the filename encoding but maybe I ignore some encoding problems on Windows.

On my Linux machine it works with python2.7:

Have you tried with other files?

Same with me， Windows 7 64bit + Python 3.65 64bit
filepath=r"三国.txt" # error in opening 三国.txt for reading
filepath=r"sanguo.txt"
import pyminizip
pyminizip.compress(filepath, None, "r.zip", "123456", 0)

Windows 7 64bit + Python 3.65 64bit

from pyminizip import compress
compress("a.txt", None, "a.zip", "123456", 0)
compress("甲.txt", None, "jia.zip", "123456", 0)

result:
Traceback (most recent call last):

compress("甲.txt", None, "jia.zip", "123456", 0)

compress_multiple alse has the same question: cannot process filename with Chinese chars

from pyminizip import compress_multiple
compress_multiple(["a.txt","b.txt"], [], "ab.zip", "123456", 0)
compress_multiple(["甲.txt","乙.txt"], [], "jiayi.zip", "123456", 0)

result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\dyjxx\Desktop\新的文档 1.py", line 17, in
compress_multiple(["甲.txt","乙.txt"], [], "jiayi.zip", "123456", 0)
OSError: error in opening 甲.txt for reading

I am expecting an solution for filename with Chinese chars in the new version.

same problem on win10 64bit, python 3.7
if chinese in input file name, compress("副本.txt", None, "jia.zip", "123456", 0)
then get error :
OSError: error in opening 副本.txt for reading

It actually has the problem in Windows platform when the src-path or dist-path contains any Chinese words .

• When src-path contains Chinese words, it raises OSError: error in closing <dist file> (-102)
• When you solve the previous problem, but dist-path contains Chinese words, you will get error in opening xxx(file needed zip)

However ,it works perfect in MacOS or other Linux platform. What a pity!

Same problem on win10 64bit, python 3.7 but when the path name includes ö or any other extended characters
OSError: error in closing
