It seems there's content missing in your error report. Please post the entire error.
This is probably a duplicate of issue #4816. So I'm closing this issue for now.
On a second thought, this maybe is caused because you have a user name with non-ascii characters.
We'll take a look at it in a future release.
@dalthviz, please work on this one.
I think the idea is (as a test) make the directory where stderr files are created a non-ascii one and see if IPython consoles can start or not using Python 2 (I think they will fail).
Then you need to fix this error.
@ccordoba12 after testing no error appear for the console. It starts normally.
A screenshot of the path for some of the stderr files of the consoles I created while testing:
Ok, then please add a test for this please. For the test, please use a non-ascii dir with Chinese and Arabic characters.
