UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position 48: invalid start byte

There were 7 tests in the TestFSAPIsWithInvalidPath suite that failed in that ticket. They are probably all related to the invalid name we use: INVALID_NAME = TESTFN + "f\xc0\x80"

I wouldn't bother about unicode-related and tests. Same for tests. re the script directory. There's another couple of tests which drew my attention:

======================================================================
ERROR: psutil.tests.test_contracts.TestDeprecations.test_memory_info_ex
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/freeware/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/psutil/tests/test_contracts.py", line 185, in test_memory_info_ex
    w = ws[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

Does this mean memory_info() returns an empty tuple?

======================================================================
FAIL: psutil.tests.test_process.TestProcess.test_terminal
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/freeware/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/psutil/tests/test_process.py", line 306, in test_terminal
    self.assertEqual(terminal, tty)
AssertionError: None != '/dev/pts/0'

If we can't get terminal for the current process I guess we can't in general?
