Comment(by cmbarton):

 OK. This seems to be some kind of OS X 10.7 (AKA Lion) issue. It does work
 fine on my OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) machine it was compiled on, but gives
 the following error on my Lion laptop.

 {{{

 UnicodeDecodeError

 }}}

 What is the function of "Decodestring" in this context? Is it necessary?

 I'll try building under Lion to see if this goes away.
