Hello,
when you are determining the appdata path on windows, you get the value in whatever encoding windows chooses, which then results in an OperationalError during db connection opening. It would be useful to decode it to an unicode string, perhaps using sys.getfilesystemencoding. And it would help to have the whole logic only in shared, not duplicated it in the main script. Or is there any difference?

    windows uses unicode since Windows NT. GetFileSystemEncoding sometimes returns mbcs on Windows even if it is unicode:

    Yeach, they do that internally. Perhaps there is better way of getting the user's appdata path?

    You can use the environment variable %APPDATA% on windows, or check if the platform is windows NT and just "assume" UTF-8.

    Is this still a problem?
