[reportlab-users] test_pdfgen_general.py fails on UnicodeEncodeError ?

[reportlab at richardshea.fastmail.fm]

Hi - I've just installed Reportlab 2.1 and am have problems with the
test_pdfgen_general.py - stacktrace at bottom of message.

I have two versions of Python installed on the same machine and both
have reportlab installed in them (I've only just today installed the
Python 2.5 and associated packages).

As can be seen in the stack trace somehow the test_pdfgen_general.py run
under 2.5 is trying to make use of the reportlab installation installed
under 2.4.1. Can anyone explain why ? 

If necessary I can de-install Reportlab from the 2.4.1 installation -
how would I do that - just delete the E:\bin\ installed\ Python2.4.1\
lib\ site-packages\ reportlab directory ?

Any help appreciated.
