Recently python-iview stopped working because the ABC apparently started
sending unicode characters where the previous code didn't work.
The new python-iview in GIT depends on Version 3+ of Python and the
Debian/Wheezy Python build system doesn't seem designed for building that - or
at least it's well beyong my Python coding ability.
I used the below patch to convert the text in question to plain ASCII and make
the program work again (the change to the #! line isn't needed).
Note that the ABC doesn't want us to create archives of programs downloaded
from their web site. But if you do want to create such archives I can
recommend a BTRFS RAID-1 array of two cheap SATA disks for that purpose. 3TB
SATA disks are dirt cheap nowadays. The worst of the BTRFS problems I
described in my last LUV talk only occur when a filesystem is filled and a 3TB
RAID array isn't something you'll fill quickly.
