Read UTF-8 data as UTF-8

[svenstaro]

You have UTF-8 data that you read during configuration but it might be read as ASCII on systems that use LC_ALL="C". This is the case with configuration scripts such as ansible. My patch is a compatible way of opening UTF-8 as UTF-8 at all times. And yes, this is an actual error for us otherwise.

Thanks. Apparently Github failed to notify me about this PR :/

For various reasons I reworked your patches. The result is in commit ac31f03. I don't want to use io.open in python2, because the _setup stuff is supposed to work with older versions as well (also, it's subtree'd now).

Can you give the current HEAD a shot? If it works properly, I'll use the same changes for the other projects (like rcssmin), too.

Works for me. The latin-1 does confuse me a bit, though.

[ndparker]

Thanks.

Those latin-1 parts modifiy epydoc output. This is just the failsafe way to do it.

[svenstaro]

Looks resolved to me then!

[ndparker]

Great. Thanks again.

Can you make a release for this so people on PyPI get it too? Last release is also quite long ago.

[ndparker]

Yes, as soon as I have some free cycles. The last release happened so long ago, because nothing changed so far :-)
