The culprit, from your analysis, seems to be that on windows some variables are bytes instead of strings (unicode text on Python 3). Would not it be easier to convert the bytes to unicode, in the cases where we need (read windows), and then it is not necessary to change getopt and friends? I am finishing other tasks and so I had not a proper look into this issue and so I am admit to be wrong.
