Re[2]: Can't run bitpim under windows xp with unicode path names.

My previous message was lost, so I am resending it:

I am not familiar with Python, so it would take time to install all
the stuff and understand a new programming language.
But I tried another old version - 0.7-test6.
It also fails to start, but shows a window with more information (see
below). I tried to run it on 3 PCs with Russian language OS, and
the problem is the same.

I think the problem is here:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 26-38: ordinal not in range(128)

And, probably, here is the unicode path that can't be handled
properly:

Frame setdefaults in guiwidgets.pyo at line 448
           path =  u'C:\\Documents and Settings\\\u0410\u0434\u043c\u0438\u043d
           self =  <guiwidgets.ConfigDialog instance; proxy of C++ wxDialog ins

Here is the complete log:
