[issue12087] install_egg_info fails with UnicodeEncodeError depending on locale

[Hagen Fürstenau]

New submission from Hagen Fürstenau ha...@zhuliguan.net:

With issue 10419 fixed, I've run into the next distutils unicode bug: The 
command install_egg_info doesn't specify an encoding when opening the 
.egg-info file for writing. Depending on the locale, this may result in 
something like the following:

$ python setup.py install
[...]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File setup.py, line 67, in module
main()
  File setup.py, line 62, in main
cmdclass={test:TestCommand},

  File /home/hagen/src/python/Lib/distutils/dist.py, line 1033, in 
write_pkg_file
file.write('Author: %s\n' % self.get_contact() )
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xfc' in position 15: 
ordinal not in range(128)


I guess some encoding (UTF-8?) should be specified in the run method of 
install_egg_info.

[issue12087] install_egg_info fails with UnicodeEncodeError depending on locale

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment:

install_egg_info.run() uses f = open(target, 'w') to create the .egg-info file 
and so the file uses the locale encoding. I don't know which module/program 
reads the file, so I don't know if the locale encoding is a good choice.

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

The pkg_resources module in setuptools or distribute reads those files.

In 3.3, packaging.database reads them too (it’s an implementation of PEP 376 
with b/w compat with egg-info).  It may work just fine in 3.x (it uses text 
I/O), but when we backport packaging to distutils2 for 2.4+, we’ll probably run 
into the problem again.
