   Here is a patch that avoids failure when paths can not be
represented in a single 8 bit encoding. It adds a _cwd variable in the
initialisation and then calls this rather than os.getcwd. I sent the
patch to Jason as well.

_base = str
_cwd = os.getcwd
try:
   if os.path.supports_unicode_filenames:
       _base = unicode
       _cwd = os.getcwdu
except AttributeError:
   pass

#...

   def getcwd():
       """ Return the current working directory as a path object. """
       return path(_cwd())
