[PythonReports-users] Filename

Hi,

pdfdoc.SaveToFile is using "utf8str" on the file name passed.

This changes the file name from:
u'C:\\dev\\twcbv4\\data\\generatedReports\\Kellerbuch Liste - 
Portr\xe4t.pdf'

to:

'C:\\dev\\twcbv4\\data\\generatedReports\\Kellerbuch Liste - 
Portr\xc3\xa4t.pdf'

Is this for compatibility with older Python versions?

As on Python 2.7.2 Windows 7 I end up with:

Kellerbuch Liste - Porträt.pdf

instead of:
Kellerbuch Liste - Porträt.pdf

If I just comment the line 234 in pdfdoc "filename = utf8str(filename)" 
then all works fine, at least on Py 2.7 Win7 and passing in the unicode 
value.

Do you know why reportlab is changing the file name, shouldn't the 
caller be responsible to pass in a valid name.

I use "get_output_file_name" to get the file name from the user and then 
pass this to pdf.write as a unicode value, should/can I do something 
different to prevent this change of the file name.
