I'd like to know real bugs in the code, not the one originated by hijack the PYTHONPATH. > When I got your email I was happy because I thought you had checked and > found I was wrong. But actually, when I followed up and double checked Of course I check (I don't close bug for the sake of it): $ ls commands.py $ reportbug wnpp Detected character set: UTF-8 Please change your locale if this is incorrect.

So the problem is on your machine, and hijacking the PYTHONPATH can't be considered a bug in reportbug: what would happen if you change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for a shared-linked C binary?
