Something else on PyInstaller and Unicode in case you have not run across it. Short version and link:

Error loading Python DLL when there're Unicode chars in absolute path · Issue #1295 · pyinstaller/pyinstaller · GitHub

" CarlLee commented on Jun 13, 2015
Program crashes and unable to load Python DLL when there're Unicode characters in absolute path. The error is gone when after renaming all folder names containing Unicode characters to ASCII names. Below is the error message."

" codewarrior0 commented on Jun 13, 2015
There are a handful of issues about this with a few variations. The gist of it is that the part of PyInstaller written in C isn't fully unicode-aware. It's supposed to use MS-DOS filenames as a kind of workaround, but it looks like it isn't even doing that correctly - your first error has a mix of MS-DOS filenames and unicode characters."

That is interesting. I'm kind of curious how this guy got MH to work in that case though: https://www.facebook.com/makehuman/post ... 3419755888 (see the comments)

In any which way, I'm thinking the python3 conversion is looking more and more urgent. Rob has made some progres, but we're far from there: https://github.com/makehumancommunity/m ... le_python3

(and this isn't going to happen for 1.1.1, obviously)

I have a vague memory of having run into something like this before, and learning that, even when Python handles Unicode just fine, Windows may not, leaving no real way to get around the problem for things like filenames. I wouldn't be surprised if installations of Windows in languages that require Unicode support don't have the problem, which could explain the variation.
