I'm sorry to say that this patch doesn't cut it, not by far. Two reasons: first, using latin-1 encoding in PyUnicode breaks CPython compatibility (UnicodeError should be thrown when u'åäö' is converted to str); second, you'd still get a UnicodeError when adding a path element with, say, chinese characters. Why are sys.path elements being converted to bytestrings anyway?
