Summary: zipfile UnicodeDecodeError

Initial Comment:
I think this is the same as #  705295, which may have
been prematurely closed.

I think the error is dependent on the data or time.

File "C:\Python24\lib\zipfile.py", line 166, in FileHeader
    return header + self.filename + self.extra
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte
0xd0 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)

The header is packed like this:
        header = struct.pack(structFileHeader,
stringFileHeader,
                 self.extract_version, self.reserved,
self.flag_bits,
                 self.compress_type, dostime, dosdate, CRC,
                 compress_size, file_size,
                 len(self.filename), len(self.extra))

the header is:

[Dbg]>>> header
'PK\x03\x04\x14\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd0\xa9x2\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00-\x00\x00\x00'

and here are the parts that made it up:

[Dbg]>>> structFileHeader, stringFileHeader,
self.extract_version, self.reserved,
self.flag_bits,self.compress_type, dostime, dosdate,
CRC, compress_size, file_size, len(self.filename),
len(self.extra)
('<4s2B4HlLL2H', 'PK\x03\x04', 20, 0, 0, 0, 43472,
12920, 0, 0, 0, 45, 0)

Your report ends with 'here's the pieces of the'.  Was something 
cut off?  If you meant to attach a file, try again.
