[Zope-dev] Re: Showstopper UnicodeDecodeError on Zope import???

[Nick Bower]

If I change Python's default encoding to utf-8 (which I shouldn't have 
to do anyway), I get the following slightly different error:

Error Type: UnicodeDecodeError
Error Value: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position 5: 
unexpected end of data

This is really frustrating... :(
