I don't remember the details, but I think there are some build environments
where the locale is not set correct (or not set?), which can cause Python's
default encodings to kick in and make incorrect assumptions (albeit based on
limited available information).  I think I've seen this with sbuilds
occasionally.  The fix is usually to be explicit about the encoding or make
sure the locale is set to UTF-8.  It'll also work differently depending on
whether you're using Python 2 or 3.

Sorry I'm a little fuzzy on the details - it's been a while.  Hopefully that
gives enough of a clue to keep digging in the right place.

Cheers,
