pylint #72022 py3k installation problem [validation pending]

I suppose the order must be the following:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install --no-compile

But in my case the second command still fails with the same error.
I'm using Python 3.2 on Windows 7.

  build step is implicitly invoked by the install command due to distutils trickery. Try the following commands. It seems to work for others:
```
$ NO_SETUPTOOLS=1 python3.2 setup.py install --no-compile
$ easy_install-3.2 logilab-common
$ easy_install-3.2 logilab-astng
```

This is not a resolution for those who use Python virtual environments and want to just "pip install pylint"

It would appear the problem is with the test/input/func_unknown_encoding.py file which contains the offending "IBO" encoding. Removing this file, and then pip installing from source works perfectly.
