William,

Can you take a look at this.
The issue with this test on windows (assuming you have a Visual Studio
install) is that the IDL scanner is being used to process the output file
(.tlb) which is a binary file and when the scanner tries to process the
bytes as unicode it throws an exception.

I'm uncertain is if this is a bug in your earlier scanner improvements
and/or a long standing bug that's only now showing up because py3 expects
strings to be unicode..

Do you have a win32 machine with VS?

-Bill
