[reportlab-users] problem running runAll.py tests when path contains non ascii characters

[rejoc]

Hello,

I've just installed ReportLab on a windows XP PC and got the following 
errors when running runAll.py :

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 171 tests in 73.688s


the directory path is actually .....\Mes documents\Mes 
Téléchargements\Firefox\...

I then moved the reportlab directory to another place with no non ascii 
character in the path and the tests went ok.
