os.path.exists behaves differently if called from a django app. Why?
Can I work around this? I need to check if pathnames exist where the
path may have special/unicode characters. I also need to open files
from that path.
The path in this demo contains "El Camarón de la Isla", where the
accent character is the trouble maker.
Any help is really appreciated.

Finally, what happens when called from a Django application.
You can see that I call checkpath in demo.py
Code fails in posixpath.py when doing os.stat(path)
