 > wxGUI's core.gcmd module has EncodeString() and DecodeString() methods
 which use whatever wxGUI considers to be the "system" encoding. Those are
 used by gcmd.Popen for converting the arguments to strings and by
 gcmd.RunCommand() for converting the process' output to unicode.

 OK, I used EncodeString, but then with non-ascii characters I get (ascii
 only path works fine now):

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Users\akratoc\Programs\GRASS GIS
 7.0.0svn\gui\wxpython\lmgr\frame.py", line 842, in

   File "C:\Users\akratoc\Programs\GRASS GIS

 return string.encode(_enc)
   File "C:\Users\akratoc\Programs\GRASS GIS
 7.0.0svn\Python27\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 12, in
 encode

 return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_table)
 UnicodeEncodeError
 :
 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u0165' in position
 40: character maps to <undefined>
 }}}

 I have seen this error in several other tickets, is there something we can
 do about it?
