Setting encoding to ``NULL`` causes the default encoding to be used
which is ASCII. The file system calls should use
which is UTF-8. The file system calls should use
:c:func:`PyUnicode_FSConverter` for encoding file names. This uses the
variable :c:data:`Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding` internally. This
variable should be treated as read-only: on some systems, it will be a
