Python on RedHat 9 is compiled with 4 byte unicode characters (UCS4), most
other distributions use 2 byte unicode characters (UCS2). So if you install
a rpm compiled on a different system, this error is bound to happen.
Solution: compile the python module from source, but this requires that the
sources of the module have been prepared to deal with UCS4.
