Summary: build.py UnicodeDecodeError pywin32-211

Initial Comment:
Hai,

I have a issue with Python 2.5.2/pywin32-211:

>>> 
>>> 
>>> from win32com.client import GetObject
>>> WMI = GetObject('winmgmts:')
>>> Entries = WMI.ExecQuery('select * from Win32_Process where Name="svchost.exe"')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
    Entries = WMI.ExecQuery('select * from Win32_Process where Name="svchost.exe"')
  File "C:\Programme\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 467, in __getattr__
    if self._olerepr_.mapFuncs.has_key(attr): return self._make_method_(attr)
  File "C:\Programme\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 295, in _make_method_
    methodCodeList = self._olerepr_.MakeFuncMethod(self._olerepr_.mapFuncs[name], methodName,0)
  File "C:\Programme\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\build.py", line 297, in MakeFuncMethod
    return self.MakeDispatchFuncMethod(entry, name, bMakeClass)

    return filter( lambda char: char in valid_identifier_chars, className)
  File "C:\Programme\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\build.py", line 542, in <lambda>
    return filter( lambda char: char in valid_identifier_chars, className)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x83 in position 52: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> 

This error didn't occure on pywin32-210.

Is something wrong with my code?

Thanks

I finally remembered where I'd seen this before.
This happens in IDLE, but not from python.exe or
Pythonwin.  There appears to be a problem with the
way stropmodule constructs its 'letters' attribute.

in python.exe:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import string
>>> repr(string.letters)
"'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"

>From Pythonwin:
PythonWin 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.
Portions Copyright 1994-2008 Mark Hammond - see 'Help/About PythonWin' for
further copyright information.
>>> import string
>>> repr(string.letters)
"'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"

Now from IDLE:
IDLE 1.2.2      
>>> import string
>>> repr(string.letters)
"'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\\x83\\x8a\\x8c\\x8e\\x9a\\x9c\\x9e\\x9f\\xaa\\xb5\\xba\\xc0\\xc1\\xc2\\xc3\\xc4\\xc5\\xc6\\xc7\\xc8\\xc9\\xca\\xcb\\xcc\\xcd\\xce\\xcf\\xd0\\xd1\\xd2\\xd3\\xd4\\xd5\\xd6\\xd8\\xd9\\xda\\xdb\\xdc\\xdd\\xde\\xdf\\xe0\\xe1\\xe2\\xe3\\xe4\\xe5\\xe6\\xe7\\xe8\\xe9\\xea\\xeb\\xec\\xed\\xee\\xef\\xf0\\xf1\\xf2\\xf3\\xf4\\xf5\\xf6\\xf8\\xf9\\xfa\\xfb\\xfc\\xfd\\xfe\\xff'"

I'm not sure why this is happening, but it appears to be a bug in Python
itself.
