when i use the fuction like
openApp("D:\\Program Files\\Netease\\网易闪电邮\\Start.exe")

the return value of the openApp() is -1
I thought it can not start the application if the parameter contains chinese characters.

when i change the sentece to openApp("D:\\Program Files\\eMule\\emule.exe"),it works well.

In python you have to use the "u" string...

openApp(u"D:\\Program Files\\Netease\\网易闪电邮\\Start.exe")
