[SciPy-user] TypeError: compile() argument 1 must be string without null bytes, not string

Hi, 
 
I have some trouble with installing scipy on SuSE 8.1. 
 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "setup.py", line 127, in ? 
    install_package() 
  File "setup.py", line 117, in install_package 
    url = "http://www.scipy.org",

    codeobject = __builtin__.compile(codestring, dfile or file, 
'exec') 
TypeError: compile() argument 1 must be string without null bytes, 
not string 
 
 
Any idea ?
