 There's just no way I'm going to diverge from upstream on this ... yes, i18n is
horrible to work with in python. I'm sure I hate it more than you do. However
there are some ways to work around it, and this is far from the only problem.

 Look at what recent yum does for my advise on what to do (basically override
the global defaults for encoding and error type).

 Feel free to re-ask for this from upstream, although everyone tells me that
python-3000 will be much better (I'm not holding my breath).
