I believe on Windows, some parts of the locale are the user locale on startup, whereas on Unix the locale is `C` until `locale.setlocale(LC_ALL, '')` is invoked. Only `welcome.py` sets the locale to the user locale, but that happens after `config2.py` is loaded. My guess is that `welcome.py` on Linux would also have problems any time it encounters an `OSError`, which uses `strerror`. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18397572/python-ioerror-strerror-is-not-unicode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/273978 I havent found a good recipe for fixing this; my first guess is we should have a wrapper `Exception` subclass which does the decoding for `OSError`, and/or add special handling of `OSError` in `pywikibot.logging.exception`.
