   This bug report is using byte string arguments causing byte string
processing rather than unicode calls with unicode processing. Windows
code that may encounter file paths outside the default locale should
stick to unicode for paths. Try converting os.curdir to unicode before
calling other functions:

os.path.abspath(unicode(os.curdir))
