Hi,

Seven months after my first commit related to this issue, the full test suite of Python 3.2 pass with ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 locale encodings in a non- ascii source directory. It means that Python 3.2 now process correctly filenames in all modules, build scripts and other utilities, with any locale encoding.

Well done on facing up to that particular dragon and slaying it. Especially this part:

the import machinery (import.c, zipimport.c), because gdb does sometimes crash (for various reasons) and because  the import machinery is fragile and difficult to understand.

Cheers, Nick.
