[issue20140] UnicodeDecodeError in ntpath.py when home dir contains non-ascii signs

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip added the comment:

It's not failing specifically because of distlib or os.path.join functionality: it's failing because, given a Unicode path C:\Users\Jarosław\..., Python is attempting to decode it using the default, ASCII codec. I'll certainly look at updating distlib to handle this case, but the same problem could bite the user in other areas.
