Editing the traceback to get rid of unnecessary noise from the logging:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin/files.py", line 83, in <module>
assert os.path.exists( filepath )
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/genericpath.py", line 18, in exists
os.stat(path)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
34-37: ordinal not in range(128)

That's a very good question. It works for me when I test it, so I cannot
explain why it fails for you.
Please try this: log into the Linux server, and then start up a Python
interactive session by entering:
python3.3
at the $ prompt. Then, at the >>> prompt, enter these lines of code. You
can copy and paste them:
import os, sys
print(sys.version)
s = ('\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA}\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA}'
'\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA}\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA}'
'\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON}')
print(s)
filename = '/tmp/' + s
open(filename, 'w')
os.path.exists(filename)
Copy and paste the results back here please.

Please read the error message. Does it say AssertionError?
If it says AssertionError, then the assert has failed. If it says
something else, the code failed before the assert can run.
