Hello,
when I run "python setup.py sdist upload" on my package, it fails with
the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 86, in <module>
cmdclass=cmdclass)

I'm running Python 2.6.4 on mac os X. Note also that I could register
the package on pypi without any problem.
Apparently, the problem occurs because of the
maintainer=u'Sébastien BARTHÉLEMY' argument to the setup command.
This seems to be a known problem :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1162338/whats-the-right-way-to-use-unicode-metadata-in-setup-py
If I read well, it should be fixed in 2.6. Can you confirm this
problem is (at least officially) fixed for python 2.6.4 ? Any idea or
workaround ?
Thanks
Sébastien
