Make sure we pass unicode, not bytes to CreateProcess() #830
Conversation
This eliminates exceptions on Python 3 when passing a path argument encoded as bytes.
…spawnProcess on Windows.

Looks good 👍
On Windows file system paths are Unicode by default so it's a bit redundant to do .decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()). The docs for Python 2 mention that getfilesystemencoding() is mainly intended for string -> byte conversion and for Python 3 it apparently changes to always be 'utf-8'. But based on the docs it shouldn't hurt either so I'd leave it as you have it in case there are edge cases out there.
