New issue 3147: venv non ascii support - Windows
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3147/venv-non-ascii-support-windows
Bernat Gabor:
Seems to create a venv into a path that has non ascii char \(`è` is mcsb
encode-able so valid in file paths even when one does not use utf-8 filepaths\)
name in just does not work:
```
PS C:\Users\traveler\git\virtualenv> pypy3.exe -m venv 'envè' --without-pip
Error: [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists:
'C:\\Users\\traveler\\git\\virtualenv\\envè\\Scripts'
```
Furthermore, if one creates and moves into a folder containing a such character
the venv site-package is no longer added to sys.path \(the error is silently
ignored\):
```
PS C:\Users\traveler\git\virtualenv> pypy3.exe -m venv env --without-pip
PS C:\Users\traveler\git\virtualenv> mkdir env/site-packages
PS C:\Users\traveler\git\virtualenv> ./env/Scripts/pypy3.exe -c 'import sys;
print(\"\n\".join(sys.path))'
C:\pypy\pypy3.6-v7.3.0-win32\lib_pypy\__extensions__
