New submission from Sascha Peilicke:

Encountered an isssue with Unicode paths when invoking Sphinx' distutils 
command (i.e. 'setup.py build_sphinx'): 

$ python setup.py build_sphinx
running build_sphinx
error: 'source_dir' must be a directory name (got `doc/source`)

...
(Pdb) l
 96                 for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(guess):
 97                     if 'conf.py' in filenames:
 98                         return root
 99             return None
100     
101  ->     def finalize_options(self):
102             if self.source_dir is None:
103                 self.source_dir = self._guess_source_dir()
104                 self.announce('Using source directory %s' % self.source_dir)
105             self.ensure_dirname('source_dir')
106             if self.source_dir is None:
(Pdb) n
> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sphinx/setup_command.py(102)finalize_options()
-> if self.source_dir is None:
(Pdb) n
> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sphinx/setup_command.py(105)finalize_options()
-> self.ensure_dirname('source_dir')

(Pdb) 
> /usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/cmd.py(255)_ensure_tested_string()
-> val = self._ensure_stringlike(option, what, default)


Command.ensure_dirname (likewise ensure_filename) fails because 
_ensure_stringlike only tests for isistance(..., str) rather than 
isinstance(..., types.StringTypes).
