Comment:
Patch needs improvement - there is no reason we can't use non ASCII in
usernames. The problem is probably that the `getpass.getuser()` is
returning a byte string, rather than a unicode object. This presumably
needs to take the locale into account, probably using
`locale.getdefaultlocale()`. That should work on Linux, I don't know about
Windows.
