New issue 1054 by brownian.box: lilypond-book crashes trying to print  
localized help message (ubuntu)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1054

2.13.17-1, gives this:

-------------------------------------------
$ lilypond-book
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/dor/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond-book", line 2215, in ?
    main ()
  File "/home/dor/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond-book", line 2146, in main
    files = do_options ()
  File "/home/dor/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond-book", line 2139, in do_options
    opt_parser.print_help ()
  File "/home/dor/lilypond/usr/lib/python2.4/optparse.py", line 1535, in
print_help
    file.write(self.format_help())
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
326-331: ordinal not in range(128)

-------------------------------------------

However "LANG=C lilypond-book" goes ok.


With no errors i can start it in ether way:

 1) $ ~/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond-book

 2) after changing «exec "/home/dor/lilypond/usr/bin/python"» to «exec
python» in ~/bin/lilypond-book

 3) after changing «file.write(self.format_help())» to
«file.write(self.format_help().encode('utf-8'))» (yes, i'm using UTF-8) in
~/lilypond/usr/lib/python2.4/optparse.py line 1535


I guess, it's not an ubuntu-only-specific issue.
