Bug#784330: game-data-packager without arguments refuses to run due to Python error

[vbdasc]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 41
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

game-data-packager ver.41 without arguments doesn't start at all; I get this
output instead:


vbdasc at mail:/tmp$ game-data-packager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 170, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "/usr/share/games/game-data-packager/game_data_packager/__main__.py",
line 21, in <module>
    run_command_line()
  File "/usr/share/games/game-data-packager/game_data_packager/__init__.py",

  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/argparse.py", line 2368, in print_help
    self._print_message(self.format_help(), file)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/argparse.py", line 2374, in _print_message
    file.write(message)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u0142' in position
2912: ordinal not in range(128)

As such, the package is unusable for me.
