Non-ascii in a pathname and non-ascii within a file are different 
issues.  On Windows, non-ascii in pathnames did not work consistently 
until 3.2 or maybe 3.3.

This should not be a problem.  With 2.7.13:

 >>> f = open('c:/program files/7-zip/readme.txt')
 >>> print(f.read())
7-Zip 9.20

This is non-ascii within a file.

Chris gave the answer for within-file non-ascii: provide the encoding.
