New submission from Pascal Garcia:
The name of the user contains accents under windows.
This error occurs when using the function. expaduser("~")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 10:
ordinal not in range(128)
ascii is the default encoding as sys.getdefaultencoding()
If in site.py "I enable Enable the support locale" then de defaultencoding
become cp1252 and the function works.
Expand user should use the encoding used by the system (may be
locale.getdefaultlocale()) to decode path given by the system instead of the
default encoding the should be the target encoding.
I do beleave some other functions may be concerned by this problem.
I detect the problem on Windows (WP and 7), but I do beleave the problem may
happen on Linux also.
