Thanks Dustin,

Concerning the e.strerror it probably uses the 'mbcs' encoding. The
Python Programming FAQ entry on UnicodeError also suggests this is the
encoding to use in most cases on Windows. I have checked that the 'mbcs'
encoding works for my case (where strerror is 'Nom de r\xe9pertoire non
valide').

Thanks again,
Regards,
