[issue8663] Failed compile in a non-ASCII path

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

Another long-standing encoding bug was fixed: It was impossible to use e.g. an author name with non-ASCII characters. The fix makes distutils use UTF-8. Of course, it’s more complicated to choose an encoding for terminal I/O.
