Error why handling unicode chars

[rohdef]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create python class using utf-8
2. From another file create object of recently created class
3. Try to complete its methods

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: method's list
Instead we got a nice traceback, something like attached.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PySmell 0.7.1 on Gentoo
Python 2.5

Please provide any additional information below.
Solution to this problem was replacing str() with unicode() in
codefinder.py at lines: 301, 314, 316
(I don't know why, but I had to change[remove '.value'] also lines 337 and
340 in codefinder.py, because of "object has no attribute 'value'". Is
this another issue?)

i have this problem, too.
when I use emacs.
M-x pysmell-make-tags RET
this step is OK.
then
M-/ can't work, appear this problem.

debian lenny, python 2.5, Pymacs 0.24 beta1, pysmell 0.7.3

if the .py file has multi-byte character , pysmell doesn't work!

just like this :

change codefinder.py ,lines 487
to :
tree = compiler.parse(replacedSource.encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
