Bug#637878: playonlinux does not start with python2.7

[Julian Taylor]

Package: playonlinux
Version: 3.8.8-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric ubuntu-patch

User: debian-python at lists.debian.org
Usertags: python2.7
Tags: sid wheezy

python2.7's locale.normalize does not accept unicode strings.
This leads to a startup problem of playonlinunx which passes
wx.Locale.GetCanonicalName() to it in /python/lib/lng.py:18

Attached patch fixes this issue by converting it to a regular string first.

Thanks for considering the patch.
