Are you sure? The string that’s encoded with mbcs comes from the get_inidata method in bdist_wininst.py; get_inidata only works with strings (either string literals or str objects (in 3.x) given as attributes of the command object or in the DistributionMetadata object).

Distutils supports author='Éric', so bdist_wininst should too :) ---------- nosy: +loewis priority: normal -> high _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10945> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
