Éric Araujo <[email protected]> added the comment: The proposition of using other C functions and changing the bdist_wininst code looks risky to me, especially as I don’t know how compatibility would be affected (see my previous message). We are free to improve the wininst code in distutils2, or discuss a replacement (Jeremy Kloth was working on something with all the features of MSI and wininst), but for distutils I would very much prefer the simplest fix that could possibly works.
bdist_msi decodes data read from setup.py with MBCS on Windows; on other OSes, couldn’t the locale preferred encoding be used? ---------- priority: high -> normal _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10945> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
