[New-bugs-announce] [issue41074] msilib does not work correctly with non-ASCII names

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

It encodes input string arguments with utf-8 and pass encoded strings to 8-bit API which expect they be encoded using the locale encoding. It may pass tests, create and read files, but these files will just have wrong names.
