[Yum-devel] [PATCH] non-ascii pw_name => cachedir => lockfile. BZ 832195

[Zdeněk Pavlas]

Convert pw_name to unicode.  This turns cachedirs to unicode
which may feel bad, but Python seems to handle unicode paths
correctly (uses utf8 codec instead of ascii).

open('\xc4\x9b') and open(u'\u011b') opens the same file,
as expected.
