[Python-Dev] bdist_wininst (original) (raw)

bdistwininst has seen a lot of bug fixes and improvements, mostly by Mark, partly by me. I'd like to 'improve' the visual appearance, too.

One improvement would be proper treatment of Unicode. Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to use unicode objects with umlauts in the arguments to distutils.core.setup(). Some of my Windows packages say "Author: Walter Dxf6rwald"

Walter, can you try out the attached patch? It seems to work for me. Both for unicode and ascii strings as author name, containing an umlaut.

Thanks,

Thomas
