Hmm, obviously none of 2.3.  Oops!  Sorry about that.  I had to change 
resourcepackage to support this change (user error reports) and hadn't 
cottoned on to the fact that it's just a warning.

I haven't upgraded to 2.3 for my general development, so I didn't 
realise this wasn't yet a hard error.  I had thought there was a way to 
get an ASCII decoding error from the above... hmm.  Guess not... 
strange... I've *seen* those errors show up when testing code for a new 
version (and I'd though it was of Python).

Enrique, by any chance are you working with a library (such as wxPython) 
where the version under 2.2 is a non-unicode build and the version under 
2.3 is a unicode build?
