I'm aware that utidylib can handle utf-8; that wasn't the subject of my
bug. I'd like utidylib to either 1) handle Python's unicode string
objects correctly, or 2) complain that it doesn't handle unicode string
objects when given one. I'd prefer the solution that makes utidylib
more capable, but I'll settle for a solution that doesn't fail silently.
Thanks,
