STINNER Victor added the comment:

I don't understand this issue. Python 3 uses CreateProcessW() and so
support the full Unicode range. I suggest to close this issue as invalid.

Popen() parameters are Unicode strings. It may support bytes string, but
passing bytes to OS functions on Windows is deprecated, especially for
filenames.
