POSIX APIs take bytes, generally. Python wraps these APIs to take unicode and doesn't allow you to pass bytes, even if you need to. Filenames, for example, are just bytes, and if you force them to always be valid unicode you will make

Capping the state and local tax deduction isn’t closing a loophole. It’s punishing blue states for funding social services and state government via state taxes.

In fact, developers are allowed to use whichever VCS tool they want on their local machine (or on the online coding in the cloud CitC environment). Some opt to use hg. The canonical repo is in piper though, so the hg commits or git commits
