How about maintainer = u"Tarek Ziadé"?

see second part of my message:

Using unicode:

setup(
maintainer=u"Tarek Ziadé"
)

leads to:

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python

.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 1094, in write_pkg_file
file.write('Author: %s\n' % self.get_contact () )
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)
