Ah, I'm still using 2.5 mostly. > Are you sure this code is in setuptools and not in distutils ? can you > provide a traceback ? You're completely right: distutils (at least the upload to pypi bug). Here's the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 47, in <module> 'lasttagdiff = zest.releaser.lasttagdiff:main'], File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/core.py", line 151, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 986, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 1006, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg/setuptools/command/register.py", line 9, in run File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/register.py", line 48, in run self.send_metadata() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/register.py", line 162, in send_metadata auth) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/register.py", line 257, in post_to_server value = unicode(value).encode("utf-8") UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6030: ordinal not in range(128) Reinout -- Reinout van Rees - rein...@vanrees.org - http://reinout.vanrees.org Software developer at http://www.thehealthagency.com "Military engineers build missiles.
