That could indeed be a problem: I never thought about 2-byte character sets. I 
also have no idea how FSSpecs and such are implemented for 2-byte charsets.

Could you try running the following commands in that APURIKE_SHON folder 
(easiest is probably to put them in a script and run that script from the that 
folder)?
- print sys.prefix
- print sys.path
- open("foo")
- os.getcwd()
- open(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "foo"))
- fss = macfs.FSSpec("foo"); print fss
- print fss.as_pathname()
- alias = fss.NewAlias()
- alias.Resolve().as_pathname()

Also, option-starting Python and setting the "trace import statements" bit 
should give a bit more information.
