It seems like using os.getcwdu() here is wrong both for Python 2 and Python 3. For Python 2, this returns a 'unicode' object, which tries to get concatenated to a 'str' object in substitute_prompt. The implicit conversion works when the unicode string contains no accent. When it does contain an accent though, displaying the prompt results in the following error: (gdb) set extended-prompt \w ... File "/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-python2/gdb/data-directory/python/gdb/prompt.py", line 138, in substitute_prompt result += str(cmd(arg)) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 49: ordinal not in range(128) When using os.getcwd() instead, it works correctly. I suppose that Python does the necessary decoding internally. For Python 3, this method simply does not exist. It works fine with os.getcwd(). gdb/ChangeLog: * python/lib/gdb/prompt.py (_prompt_pwd): Use os.getcwd() instead of os.getcwdu().
