UnicodeDecodeError con PIP?

Question

Sto tentando di distribuire il mio progetto open source, Melopy, ma la gestione dei pacchetti mi ha dato problemi da quando ho iniziato. Oggi, mi sono registrato per PyPI, ma dopo aver eseguito python setup.py sdist upload mi trovo di fronte al seguente errore.

running sdist 
running check 
reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in' 
not writing to manually maintained manifest file 'MANIFEST' 
making hard links in Melopy-0.1.0... 
Creating tar archive

Sembra che sono colpiti da this bug. In teoria il problema dovrebbe essere risolto passando la versione come una stringa normale.
