That output means that we don't have any better idea about the proper 
file encoding, and so we should decide to stick to default ascii file 
encodings.

I've now managed to reproduce the bug, with the following command line

LANG=eu_ES python2.4 -c "import locale;
locale.setlocale (locale.LC_ALL, '')"

Given that the python manuals specify 
"locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'')" as definately being the correct 
command to tell python to use the user's default settings, this is a bug 
in python itself, and should be reported as such to the Python developers.

However, until this gets fixed there, I've just written a quick patch 
against pybliographer that will work around this problem (by ignoring 
your locale settings if errors occur while trying to set them), which 
I've attached.
