In my opinion the problem with `sys.path` entries that are bytes and cannot be decoded should be fixed. If I've understood the problem correctly, it shouldn't require anything more than ignoring such `sys.path` entries and moving to the next one.

It would also be good to support system encoding (not blindly UTF-8) with `sys.path` entries to be compatible with CPython. Because Unicode strings work with both, I don't think this is too high priority. Probably better to direct limited development resources to more important issues or to Jython 3 where `sys.path` entries are always Unicode anyway.
