Kenneth, I'm having trouble reproducing your issue. Any other hints at
what might causing the trouble in your environment that you can think of?
I've tried changing my locale, changing the files diffed to being utf8, all
with no luck. Regardless your suggested change needs to be done on my
swig-py3 branch, since it for sure needs it for Python 3, but I'd really
like to understand what is going on here to make sure the issue is well and
truly resolved.
