In wsgiref/simple_server.py (WSGIRequestHandler.get_environ), Python 3 is currently populating the env['PATH_INFO'] variable by decoding the URL path, assuming it was encoded with 'iso-8859-1', which appears to be wrong, according to RFC 3986/3987. For example, if you request the path /سلام in any modern browser, PATH_INFO will contain "/Ø³ÙØ§Ù". 'iso-8859-1' should be replaced by 'utf-8' for decoding. Note that this was introduced as part of the fix for http://bugs.python.org/issue10155
