[Python-modules-team] Bug#662253: backtraces upon using XF86AudioRaiseVolume buttons: unichr() arg not in range(0x110000)

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-pyglet
Version: 1.1.4.dfsg-2
Severity: normal

testing new version of psychopy which uses pyglet and just randomly pressed
volume up buttong available on my thinkpad which generates following xev
information:

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x7800001,
    root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 698318837, (93,78), root:(94,79),
    state 0x10, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x7800001,
    root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 698319005, (93,78), root:(94,79),
    state 0x10, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False


that lead to crash of the app with following backtrace:
