[Python-modules-team] Bug#834920: python-socketpool: FTBFS too much often (UnicodeDecodeError)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:python-socketpool
Version: 0.5.3-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
I: pybuild base:184: python3.5 setup.py clean 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 26, in <module>
    long_description = f.read()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 3249: ordinal not in range(128)
E: pybuild pybuild:274: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.5 setup.py clean 
dh_auto_clean: pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p 3.5 returned exit code 13
debian/rules:8: recipe for target 'clean' failed
make: *** [clean] Error 25
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this
is the same as a FTBFS bug in the usual sense, and the fact that I was
doing "dpkg-buildpackage -A" does not mean anything special.

I attach three different failed build logs

Thanks.
