"mbcs" is not a fixed encoding and may change between Windows sessions, see the Rationale in PEP277 http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0277/ The mixed case is interesting. We could use CreateProcessW when at least one string is Unicode, and CreateProcessA when all strings are bytes. OTOH this is unlikely, because for example the environment will be passed as unicode; so I'm OK to use CreateProcessW in all cases, and use mbcs to convert bytes.
