Well, I just did a bzr pull today, and now things are broke.

I also don't know what the previously working epgsnoop version number 
was. My setup is MythDora 4/Python 2.4.4

Using the freeview data:

/usr/local/bin/dvbstream -s 22500 -o:/dev/null -f 1183 -p h -n 60 8192 &
/usr/local/bin/epgsnoop --config-dir ~/.epgsnoop/freeview/ > 
listings_beta-$$.xml

position 39358: ordinal not in range(128)


And that's all she wrote.  There is just an empty listings xml file.

After much playing round (learning how to bzr revert, etc), it appears 
that revno 20 works fine, but 21 onwards hit this error.

Any idea Hads on places to look?
