Comment(by cmbarton):

 AFter looking into this, it appears that it is NOT an OSX 10.7 issue but a
 bug. However, for some reason, the bug only shows up on my OSX 10.7 box.

 The DecodeString method in util.py calls string.decode()

 However, the string module does not have a "decode" method in Python 2.6
 or 2.7. This is what is causing the error. What is this supposed to be
 doing? The value that string.decode() is supposed to be decoding is "mac-
 roman" on my machine.
