Use locale endoding else this generate error in GU : as default time format can have non ascii char on non english locale, but using ascii in locale can generate UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 :

In PyBitmessage/src/bitmessageqt/init.py"
l10n.formatTimestamp())

In PyBitmessage/src/l10n.py", line 81, in formatTimestamp
return unicode(timestring, encoding)

I suspected that the locale issues could be resolved with a simple call to locale.setLocale but I assumed that there was a very good reason (which no one would enlighten to me) something so basic this wasn't being done.
