Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python2.6

Many python applications fail to launch after recent update of python
(last week?). Including "core" applications such as update-manager.

Error message:

    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xd1' in file 
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py on line 1, but no encoding 
declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
