New submission from Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com:
If the version or name passed to distutils.core.setup is unicode, this results
in a UnicodeDecodeError. Consider this setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
setup(
name=u'issue13381',
version=u'1.0',
modules=['setup.py'],
)
Run it with python2.7 setup.py sdist --format gztar and you'll get the
following:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: ordinal

Since tarfile doesn't support unicode filenames, distutils should encode the
generated filename. issue8396 suggests encoding using
sys.getfilesystemencoding().
