As detailed in this SO question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28101187/deal-with-unicode-usernames-in-python-mkdtemp

I still see the issue in 2.7.8.

I use a unicode prefix and changing this is not an option (editing legacy code which expects unicode everywhere)

Is there some full proof workaround ? Is the one suggested in the OP good enough ?
