[issue10419] distutils command build_scripts fails with UnicodeDecodeError

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com> added the comment:

Apparently setuptools.command.easy_install.get_script_header() imports distutils.command.build_scripts.first_line_re and checks if this regex matches a str object, which results in TypeError. If breaking compatibility is not acceptable, then the surrogateescape patch should be applied.
