I'm don't know Windows very well, but I read many times that Windows 
uses unicode everywhere. I'm unable to decide if it's a good thing or 
not to support also bytes on Windows, and anyway I'm unable to write 
such patch.

See also issue #4036 (bytes for subprocess.Popen), especially Martin's 
message msg74305 (Martin is our Windows expert ;-)).
