Hi Guido, I looked into why why buildd is succeeding when a normal "python setup.py install" fails. pybuild expands to the following:
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py install --root /PKGBUILDDIR/debian/tmp With the "--root" argument, setuptools takes a different code path, simply copying the files without translating them to ascii (copy_tree() method in setuptools/command/install_lib.py) Without the "--root" argument, setuptools bails with UnicodeDecodeError in (write_script() method in setuptools/command/easy_install.py). Looks like Travis CI might not be exercising the setuptools code. Unfortunately this seems like a longstanding issue with setuptools, https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/761 - Ken On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 2:52 PM, Guido Günther <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 10:43:39AM -0600, Ken Dreyer wrote: >> setuptools cannot handle non-ascii characters in files declared in >> "scripts". > > It does here, on Debian's buildds and travis-ci.
