    path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 39: ordinal not in range(128)

[user at denix eskarcha]$ python2 version.py
Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r9675, 2011/10/26, 08:57:14)
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 24 2011, 00:49:56) 
[GCC 4.5.3]
config-settings:
use_api = True
use_api_login = True
unicode test: triggers problem #3081100

Moving the pywikipediabot directory to an ascii path works as workaround.
