Opening a pysqlite database with a pathname containing non-ANSI characters

Is it possible to pass a database path name to sqlite.connect that 
contains non-ANSI characters?

Using PySqlite 2.3.0 with Windows XP SP2 I get:

Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite
 >>> import os
 >>> os.chdir('c:\\')
 >>> os.getcwd()
'c:\\'
 >>> newdir = 'dir\x82'
 >>> print newdir
diré
 >>> os.mkdir(newdir)
 >>> os.path.exists(newdir)
True
 >>> newdb = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), newdir, 'mydb')
 >>> print newdb
c:\diré\mydb
 >>> sqlite.connect(newdb)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: unable to open database file
 >>>

In the real case, the directory name is based on a user name, which 
contains accented characters.
