 When launching python script in GUI - File - Launch script, I am asked to
 add the path to `GRASS_ADDON_PATH`. I did it and ran the script
 successfully. However, I am not able to run any command afterwards because
 of the python error (TypeError: environment can only contain string). The
 problem is the script path is unicode type (although I am using only ascii
 letters). The solution is to encode the script path, but with which
 encoding? And how it is going to be decoded?

 A temporary solution is to reject any scripts with path with non-ascii
 letters and just use `str()`.
