UnicodeDecodeError in ATVideo/Extensions/AppInstall

[anders@…]

When trying to install ATVideo that comes with Plumi 0.1rc1 I get this error: Traceback (innermost last):

Module Products.CMFQuickInstallerTool.QuickInstallerTool?, line 333, in installProduct

• traceback_info: ('ATVideo',)

Module Products.ExternalMethod?.ExternalMethod?, line 225, in call

• traceback_info: ((<PloneSite? at /plone>,), {}, None)

UnicodeDecodeError?: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

I am using Zope 2.9.7 and Plone 2.5.3

Wondering if this has to do with linguaplone, or possibly $PYTHON/site-packages/sitecustomize.py of :

import sys sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

may help, I will try and reproduce, even tho it 'works for me', I have a vague suspicion that the language settings have something to do with this ..

I know Andy wasn't getting this error either but had some thoughts about it which would be good to share here. Am wondering if it's a blocker to releasing an rc2 as the most important errors (that many people were getting) have now been fixed, we could get that out and then work on this. ?
