Comment 4 for bug 487701

This should be fixed in lp:renpy revision 849. The important change was the one made to renpy/loader.py.

Basically, what was happening was we were combining a unicode filename with a non-unicode path. The latter was being promoted to unicode incorrectly, and then the file wouldn't load. Python 3 will make this easier, but for now we're stuck with a clusterfsck of unicode and non-unicode strings.

I've moved my development tree to a directory that contains non-ascii characters in it, so hopefully we won't see this sort of problem again.
