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))

I don't have a Windows machine at hand right now to test it, but, even if this solution works, it breaks the principle of least astonishment: os.path.abspath() should do the Right Thing regardless of what the current locale is.
