SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file setup.py on line 8

Hi Martin:

Thanks for your help, but the change add an common error for non-english system. On line 8 of setup.py

__date__     = r"$Date$"[7:-2]

If i make:

svn checkout http://trac-hacks.org/svn/googlestaticmapmacro/0.11/ googlestaticmapmacro

I get on setup.py (1):

__date__     = r"$Date: 2010-08-28 12:22:35 -0400 (sáb 28 de ago de 2010) $"[7:-2]

Because in Spanish Saturday is Sábado.

To correct this problem I have to add on setup.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python 
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Would be nice if you correct this internationalization problem declaring the encoding

(In [8534]) googlestaticmapmacro/0.11/:: Added encoding meta-comment and turned date and revision into unicode strings to fix #7588.

Thanks for reporting this. I fixed it now by adding the requested encoding line and by turning the date into a unicode string.

However, this issue should also have occurred before the changes made for #7568.

Wow That was too fast!! Now works like a charm.
