    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:
