Hi all (and especially Lennart),

I need a quick sanity check. Trying to test a package of mine for Python
3 compatibility I built Python 3.1.2 and installed distribute into it.
My package depends on zope.interface. I am executing...

  $ python3.1 setup.py test

It tries to install zope.interface, but fails with this traceback:

Running zope.interface-3.6.0/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir
/var/folders/ZD/ZDGPtbYeGkqB4K7rOkPK4U+++TI/-Tmp-/easy_install-8LJGXC/zope.interface-3.6.0/egg-dist-tmp-xVkH07
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 58, in <module>
<snip>
  File
"/usr/local/lib/python3.1/site-packages/distribute-0.6.10-py3.1.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py",
line 33, in <lambda>
    {'__file__':setup_script, '__name__':'__main__'})
  File "setup.py", line 80, in <module>

That's not very informative at all. Trying to debug this further I
download zope.interface 3.6.0 and attempt to run its tests using
"setup.py test", which gives a little more information:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 80, in <module>
    + '\n' +
  File "setup.py", line 65, in read
    return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *rnames)).read()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.1/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
290: ordinal not in range(128)

The issue is a non-ASCII character in the Changelog:

<snip>
- - Added support for Python 3.1. Contributors:

    Lennart Regebro
    Martin v Löwis
    Thomas Lotze
    Wolfgang Schnerring
</snip>

Removing the "ö" I can run the tests and buildout. Question: Is this an
issue with my particular sandbox? The Python 3.1 I use is a fresh build
and I don't manipulate the default encoding anywhere.

Thanks!
