Hello!

This is the fix for the bug on Windows which was recently reported back in chan. When the messages.dat file path contains unicode characters the exception sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file is raised and PyBitmessage stops loading.

I'm not sure about necessity of the change in class_sqlThread (os.path.join() instead of strings concatenation). The main problem is in encoding of the state.appdata string. I used the solution from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35833037.

Related issues are: #165, #978

Thank you, I think it is a step in the right direction. My testing shows that it still doesn't work. I found two issues.

  • an additional fix is needed if the directory with the executable / source contains unicode (as opposed to merely %APPDATA% being localised):
    pybitmessage-encoding2

  • there are at least some cases where it doesn't convert correctly:
    pybitmessage-encoding1

The tests are done on a 64bit Win10 with current updates.

OK, thanks for hint. I've being able to reproduce it only in portable mode with many debug messages added. Can you please tell me how to get such detailed log in console?

It looks like in my case there is an additional problem, I use a US locale in the OS but created a username with non-US characters. Python doesn't like it and I'm not sure how to fix that other than changing the user locale to something compatible, and relogin. After changing the locale it works even without this PR. Unless someone can report that this actually helped him I'm inclined to reject this PR.

Hmm, I really cannot reproduce the issue with non-ASCII characters in username. What I see is the exception raised when you start PyBitmessage in portable mode from the directory containing non-ASCII characters:

Put executable into the directory with non-ASCII character in it's name. Run it. Go into Settings and set "User Interface -> Run in Portable mode". Restart PyBitmessage.
