[issue10051] distutils fail to install unicode-encoded files with POSIX locale

[Michał Górny]

New submission from Michał Górny :

I was reported an issue where the user was unable to install my package [1] 
using python3.1. I was able to guess the issue comes from locale being set to 
POSIX and reproduce it.

It seems that the reasons are utf8-encoded characters in the installed script 
file. All the project files carry encoding declaration as per PEP-0263. They 
install fine with python2 but fail both with 3.1 and 3.2.

I think the build system should be locale-agnostic, and work correctly even if 
LC_ALL=C. If it's necessary to use text mode for scripts, I think a similar 
encoding guessing method should be used as in python itself.

I'm attaching a complete build log (for multiple versions of Python). Below I'm 
repasting the backtrace:
