Description

when running recent (13.8.2014) core pywikibot through pwb.py I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)
<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>
CRITICAL: Waiting for 1 network thread(s) to finish. Press ctrl-c to abort

the path is "....Users\Jonáš\Desktop....". Using bot placed in ascii-only characters path solves the issue.
