In (Zope)\lib\python\ZConfig\loader.py, method  schemaComponentSource, there is an import:

        try:
            __import__(package)
        except ImportError, e:
            raise ZConfig.SchemaError("could not load package %s: %s"
                                      % (package, str(e)))

str(e) fails if the message (possibly coming from the OS) contains non-ascii characters, giving error:
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 14: ordinal not in range(128)

and masking the original error (can't load package xxx).
