[issue8242] Support surrogates in import ; install Python in a non-ASCII directory

[Martin v. Löwis]

I haven't reviewed the patch in detail yet, but it seems to me that it fixes independent issues. -1000 on that. One problem, one bug report in the tracker, one commit.

If this issue is about the import machinery not working anymore if there is a non-ASCII character in the path, then why the heck does it touch posixmodule.c????

As for modules that have non-ASCII characters in their module name: this is, again, an unrelated issue (ISTM), so if you want to deal with it, please create a new issue.
