Subject: Non-unicode path results in UnicodeDecodeError
Original description:
From an IRC support request:
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 16: ordinal not in range(128)
The pywikipedia folder was in '/.../Télechargements', which is has an accented letter. Moving to a non-accented directory solved the issue.
User is running rewrite; version.py did not yield useful results because it doesn't support git or git nightlies yet...
