Coding issue in folder path

I have a folder path which has some cyrillic letter which stop the process of another script. I need to get a folder path without cyrillic letters but python doesn't return it.

The folder is C:\Users\PereverzevPV\Documents\Инв.

I have:

import os
folder = os.getcwd()
print folder

The output is empty no matter what coding I set. I need to get 

'C:\\Users\\PereverzevPV\\Documents\\\xd0\x98\xd0\xbd\xd0\xb2'

try this :

# coding: UTF-8

import os

os.getcwd().encode('utf-8').decode('utf-8')

We Need To Encode The CWD then to Decode Him

If you pass a file path in unicode than a return will also be in unicode:

>>> for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(u"D:\\SO"):
    print dirnames


[u'\u0142', u'\u0418\u043d\u0432']

Maybe you could use that and later reassemble the path as you want it.

This might help. Your poblem is, that you are not escaping \: \U, \P, \D or \И are not valid utf-8 chars.

# coding: UTF-8

txt = r"C:\Users\PereverzevPV\Documents\Инв"
txt = "C:\\Users\\PereverzevPV\\Documents\\Инв"

esc_txt = txt.encode('utf-8')

print(esc_txt)
