25411	UnicodeEncodeError with ZIP of latest (pre 1.9) master and PIP and Python 2.7	Carlton Gibson	nobody	"Setting a dependency on Django to the **ZIP** of the latest master results in an error with PIP and Python 2.7:

     https://github.com/django/django/archive/master.zip

    File "".../django-appconf/.tox/py27-dj19/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/utils/__init__.py"", 
    line 231, in split_leading_dir
        path = str(path)
   UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2297' in position 60: 
   ordinal not in range(128)

Switching to the `tar.gz` resolves this.
