[21:31:40] <abadger1999> I vaguely recall something about a problem with setuptools at a basic level but my google-fu is not working.... Does importing pkg_resources throw a DistributionNotFound error that cannot be selectively caught (because pkg_resources defines it)?

[21:32:23] <abadger1999> If so, what's the best alternative for catching it? Catch any exception, then compare the repr of the exception to see if it's DistributionNotFound?

[22:42:14] <sam__> hey guys. Installed python2.7 from source in centos. then installed pip and virtualenv. did all this as root. Then switched to a user and tried to create virtualenv. getting the error "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position "
