Starting REPL from Command Palette not working when path contains non ASCII characters on Windows

[ztepsic]

Sets SUBLIMEREPL_DIR with a Unicode object representing the current working directory.

The problem occurs on Windows, when the path to SublimeREPL package folder contains non ASCII characters (e.g. šćčž), and when we want through Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) select the appropriate language to open REPL.
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 337, in run_
File ".\run_existing_command.py", line 31, in run
File ".\ntpath.py", line 108, in join
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8e in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

In run_existing_command.py file, SUBLIMEREPL_DIR has been set by os.getcwd() which returns a string representing the current working directory.
Solution to the problem is to return Unicode object - os.getcwdu().

Thank you :)

I am having an issue which seems related to non ASCII characters in the program path, however haven't been able to solve yet looking into the solution here described. Can you have a look at?

Hi! I'm afraid I've a new case study equal to the posted by @hpsilva . Here the messages logged in the console...

Running Sublime Text 3, Stable Channel, Build 3126 on Windows 10 Home, Version 1607, OS Build 14393.1198.

Sorry, I'm far from being able to contribute to finding a fix! I'm trying to create a framework to work on R scripts across different OS and private and public networks with different security requirements. Sublime Text seems to me a valuable piece of the puzzle, but I've not been able yet to find a complete set of utilities working fine in all of at least four desktop OS: Windows 7, Windows 10, Ubuntu Linux and Mac OS X. Any help will be very welcome! Thanks!
