Here are 2 logs one with the default site.py forcing defaultencoding to ascii,
and the other to utf8.
You can see that the home dir includes accents : Pépé Not an insult to anybody
but this stupid computer :)
When I force using the locale.getdefaultlocale() as encoding then the function
works, but, after having called expanduser, I need to make an explicit
decode(locale.getdefaultlocale()), or else the string can not be used to build
path to files.
==> with ASCII
