With the PEP 383, a bytes filename can be stored as str using the surrogateescape error handler. So DirEntry can convert a bytes path to str using os.fsdecode(). A "byte string" is unclear in Python. There is the immutable "bytes" type. But there is also the mutable "bytearray" type. And the buffer protocol which can have different shapes. I like the idea of a simple protocol: only allow a single type, str.
