The file is opened in ASCII mode, which doesn't allow for writing Unicode text inside. You should reassign the bug to python. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

unicode in setup.py file causing RC bug
I maintain the package rpl, which today received an RC bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422604 because it FTBFS in an autobuild on Lucas. The reason it failed is due to the use of unicode for the author's name in the setup.py file. distutils (for the setup.py file) is part of python which is part of the python module distutils. I see two options for fixing this: 1. Remove the unicode from the author's name and spell it using ascii. or 2. Reassign the bug to the main python package. I'm not much in favor of #1 because we should be able to get names correct. I favor #2 as it does seem to be a bug in python. I found the following regarding the bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03007.html So just looking for a little guidance in case I missed something before I proceed.
