My fault (well, OK, it's distutil's fault, but I can take the blame in *this*
instance). The database layer is returning unicode objects so my naive
test "isinstance(info, string) and info.strip() == 'UNKNOWN'" was now
failing.
I've fixed it, and a couple of other unicode issues. We love str vs. unicode.
Bring on Py3k!
