We do need to support non-ASCII files, as distutils didn't previously even support Unicode strings, and people still wanted to get their names right. It's not about setuptools, and not about other 3rd party tools. It's about distutils packages which we need to continue to support. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2562> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
