Comment (by daira):

 Oh wait, I think this is a different error than I originally thought: it
 could be due to the `FilePath`'s `path` attribute holding a Unicode string
 rather than a `str`.

 This is strictly speaking a Twisted bug: in Twisted 15.2.1 which is the
 version used in this test, `FilePath` is supposed to accept Unicode paths
 (and so `inotify.py` should be using `path._asBytesPath()` instead of
 `path.path`
 [https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-15.2.1/twisted/internet/inotify.py#L190
 here]). Nevertheless, constructing it with a `str` path may be the best
 workaround.
