[issue45176] Many regtest failures on Windows with non-ASCII account name

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

I'd guess that these tests are assuming that sys.executable contains only ASCII characters. All the tests run in a non-ASCII working directory, so it's only the runtime that is not tested propersy here.

The easiest way for Ming Hua to test this is to install for all users (into Program Files), and run tests with the same user account.

If that's the case, we probably have to just go through the tests and make them Unicode-aware.
