Hello All. I just added patch 1552880 to sourceforge. It is a patch for 2.6 (and 2.5) which allows unicode paths in sys.path and uses the unicode file api on windows. This is tried and tested on 2.5, and backported to 2.3 and is currently running on clients in china and esewhere. It is minimally intrusive to the inporting mechanism, at the cost of some string conversion overhead (to utf8 and then back to unicode).

As this can't be considered a bugfix (that I can see), I'd be against it being checked into 2.5.
