It is os.listdir. I have not tried accessing it in binary yet.
I do find it odd that the OS can list the file and I can manipulate the file name on the command line, but because it has some odd characters in it, python silently skips over it.

bytes vs. characters
Well, if you want to read something no matter what its encoding, you use bytes mode. That's what bytes mode is *for*. Python 3 is really very consistent here (unlike Python 2, for which you had to guess and hope.)
