CLI doesn't work on windows with unicode profile names

Hello,
CLI is using credentials from home directory but it doesn't work if this directory has unicode characters:

C:\Users\René Winkler>aws --version

Are you able to see what version of botocore you have installed? If you've installed using pip then you should be able to see that information using pip list. I believe that this should have been fixed by boto/botocore#861 so if you have a version older than 1.4.9 then upgrading should solve it. If you have a version of botocore >= 1.4.9 then it must be another issue.

It was installed from MSI package (https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/AWSCLI64.msi). I will try to uninstall and install it from pip.

Same issue on Windows Server 2012 R2 with AWSCLI x64 (https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/AWSCLI64.msi).

aws-cli/1.11.35 Python/2.7.9 Windows/2012Server botocore/1.4.92

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "aws", line 27, in
File "aws", line 23, in main
File "awscli\clidriver.pyc", line 54, in main
File "awscli\clidriver.pyc", line 223, in main
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xde' in position 58: ordinal not in range(128)

But AWS CLI work perfectly with unicode characters

I believe this should be fixed now with #2374.
