MSYS - PyAudio Greek letters

Question

MSYS PyAudio module:

counter = 1
for i in range (0,self.numdevices):
    if self.p.get_device_info_by_host_api_device_index(0,i).get('maxOutputChannels')>0:
        self.output_devices.append([counter,i,str(self.p.get_device_info_by_host_api_device_index(0,i).get('name'))])
        counter += 1

If greek letters are in path there aren't displayed correctly.

Code:
