Please put this in a PR for me, along with any other critical fixes to
the various python tools we have, thanks!

And also, do we need to perhaps whack something at a higher level, and
more consistently, about unicode?  This is, I gather, doing UTF-8 right.
In buildman we have a few patches to just translate to latin-1 instead.
We should do the same thing I think, and perhaps there's a higher level
up in the code where we need to do it too?  I don't know..
