Sure enough it was easier to rewrite in Python! It took less time to rewrite than documenting the Julia problem. Python realizes that sometimes a byte is just a byte, and it can also handle Unicode. And bonus…my memory of processing a directory, was using os.walk(), but found a much easier and straightforward way using …

Julia string indexing problem part 2
So, before opening a bug report, I thought I’d do more research on the Julia string indexing problem. And found that it’s not a bug to Julia.
