setup.py sdist Unicode error about plaso HOT 10 CLOSED

Adding:

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

Seems to fix it on Ubuntu 14.04

from plaso.

Fixes it in fedora 20 as well (coincidentally encountered this issue as well at the same time)

from plaso.

Chaging the path passed to find_packages to Unicode:

    packages=find_packages(u'.'),

Results in, while trying to build a deb:

TypeError: 'package' must be a string (dot-separated), list, or tuple
dh_auto_build: python setup.py build --force returned exit code 1
make: *** [build] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Let's see if this c8fe2db fixes the side effect

from plaso.

In setup.py line 96, you still have it calling: sys.setdefaultencoding(sys.stdin.encoding)

Changing that to: sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)

Makes it work for me. I assume you meant to do that.

My bad, yeah was early this morning, fixing in: http://codereview.appspot.com/175990043
