Environment is Win7, 32bits. User has Admin rights.

I haven't coded in Python at the office for a while and had a little script to write. Thus, I decided to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7 (that is : 2.6 was already there and functionnal as far as I remind it and was the first install of Python on the new PC)

2.7 installation run without problems nor warnings, as usual.
But then Idle didn't launch. No message. No Python process running in the background. So I launched it via a shell and grabbed an error message :
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\Foobar\\.idlerc\\recent-files.lst'

Then I googled and found http://bugs.python.org/issue1743

Deleting ~\.idlerc\ did the trick and now Idle runs fine.

So the bug 1743 isn't clearly solved and this is what I suspect :
My Windows is localized in French. From the DOS Shell, the User Dir is C:\Users\FOOBAR
but Windows Explorer displays in its address bar : C:\Utilisateurs\FOOBAR
Maybe the problem comes from here ?

Is that problem reproducible?

I.e. what did you do, in what order, and: when you do it again, will the problem occur again?

it is reproductible.
At first, Python 2.6.? was installed.

i tried to install 2.7 and got the problem
uninstalled 2.7
tried 2.6.6 and got the problem

then google, delete dir and got it running

This bug looks almost identical to bpo-4625 which was fixed. The only difference is the French localization aspect.
