There are also some issues that mainly crop up in non-English locales. We will try to get to the bottom of those before releasing 3.0a2, but I need help as I'm myself absolutely unable to work with locales (and I don't have access to a Windows box). I think Christian and a few others are making progress here.
I've hit another wall of bricks on Windows. It's not possible to run Python from a directory with non ASCII characters: http://bugs.python.org/issue1342. I've a patch that reduces the problem from a segfault to an unrecoverable import error. The remaining problem seems to lay deep in PC/getpathp.c:Py_GetPath(). It seems that it can't handle non ASCII chars correctly.
The second line is a fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", char *path). Do you see the difference between "testäöü" and "testõ÷³"?
