Summary: distutils.core.setup() with unicode arguments broken
Initial Comment:
When using unicode arguments for distutils.core.setup()
running setup.py breaks with the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
\Lib\distutils\command\sdist.py", line 430, in
make_release_tree
self.distribution.metadata.write_pkg_info(base_dir)
File "C:\Programme\Python24\Lib\distutils\dist.py", line
1047, in write_pkg_info
pkg_info.write('Author: %s\n' % self.get_contact() )
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character u'\xf6' in position 16: ordinal not in range(128)
Changing the system default encoding to iso-8859-1
works around this problem.

Encoding was never considered. PEP 314 is an updated
version of PEP 241; it should specify an encoding (probably
UTF-8 is the most reasonable choice).

I'm unusure about the allowed encoding in PKG-INFO, and I
cannot find anything in PEP 241. Andrew, since you are
listed as the author, can you comment?
bdist_wininst does accept unicode strings, and that may be
the reason that walter expects this to work for sdist also...
