Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal at egenix.com> added the comment:
Note that
value = unicode(value).encode("utf-8")
will also work if value is already Unicode, so a backwards compatible
fix would be to allow passing in:
* ASCII encoded strings
* Unicode objects
for the meta data keyword parameters and then apply unicode() to all the
meta-data arguments.
I don't think that we should support non-ASCII encodings for meta-data
strings passed to setup().
If setuptools is broken in this respect, it needs to be fixed. Dito for
other 3rd party tools.
