[issue11638] python setup.py sdist crashes if version is unicode

David:
I don’t think packaging and pysetup generate-setup have anything to do with this bug.  You can create a setup.py file manually and see the error with distutils in 2.7.

As I said before, I agree this is a bug.  I’m working on many things right now, so if someone volunteers to write a test and possibly a fix for this, it would help.  We have examples of creating tarball sdists in Lib/distutils/tests/test_sdist.py, one would just need to copy an example and pass version=u'1.0'.
