Apologies if this has been reported before; I couldn#T find it on a search but maybe I used the wrong search terms. When I try to run a script that is contained in a directory whose path contains non-ASCII characters (e. g. Umlauts), Python 3.0a4 crashes with the following error message: (Windows cmd console): E:\Eigene Dateien\Klinikum\Qualitätsmanagement\Qualitätsbericht 2007>c:\programme\python30\python zaehle_aerzte.py Fatal Python error: no mem for sys.path insertion UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 33-35: invalid data This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Moving the script to a directory without Umlauts in the path "solves" the problem. Best regards, Tim

I should perhaps add that this happened on a German Windows XP Pro SP2 installation.
