Comment (by dawuud):

 Recently Daira made this dev branch so that twisted filepath objects are
 used more often than file path unicode strings:

 https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/tree/2506.enforce-paths.0

 I was working with the code trying to fix it and I discovered that the
 twisted inotifier doesn't produce filepath objects in unicode mode... and
 this breaks our code. Here's the twisted bug regarding this issue:
