[New-bugs-announce] [issue8774] 0xe7 in ``heapq.__about__`` causes badness

[Dan Buch]

New submission from Dan Buch <daniel.buch at gmail.com>:

I noticed while running ``python3 -m tabnanny -v Lib/*.py`` that the process died at heapq.py.  The 0x37 char in "François Pinard" (in the ``__about__`` attr) was the culprit.  The attached patch replaces it with '\xe7'.  Changing the encoding cookie was not necessary to make it work, but seemed like a good idea at the time (I forget if it even matters... haven't worked much in py3k yet.)
