[EuroPython] Exporting the registration data

[Joachim Schmitz]

This is a bug in  xmlrpclib.py

change _decode around line 105 of xmlrpclib.py like so:

def _decode(data, encoding, is8bit=3Dre.compile("[\x80-\xff]").search):
    # decode non-ascii string (if possible)
    if unicode and is8bit(data):
        try:
            data =3D unicode(data, encoding)
        except:
            pass
            #data =3D "error decoding"
    return data
