It probably change your coding to UTF-8 where each single char (apart
for the under 128 ones) is coded as two chars.

But on a Mac with Python 2.0 I get this:

>>> os.chdir('HD:')
>>> os.getcwd()
'HD:'
>>> os.chdir('Textes à garder')
>>> os.getcwd()
'HD:Textes \210 garder:'
>>> 

So I don't understand ?
