I believe you are running into a directory or file name that has
non-ascii characters in it. Python as shipped is set up to
deal with ascii as its native encoding format. You can change
this by editing the "site.py" file - look in the Lib directory
in your python installation. Look for this code:
-------------------------------
def setencoding():
"""Set the string encoding used by the Unicode implementation. The
default is 'ascii', but if you're willing to experiment, you can
change this."""
encoding = "ascii" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()
if 0:
# Enable to support locale aware default string encodings.
import locale
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
encoding = loc[1]
-------------------------------
Change the "if 0:" to "if 1:" and see if that doesn't fix the problem.
