Can not change charset from utf8 to iso-8859-1

[jj.gavlvez@…]

while tying to use bable in pylons, using setuptools, to make translations from en to es I recieced errors when trying to change the charset from utf8 to sio-8859-1. Below shows what I was doing:

1) I set the charset in the [extract_messages] section of the setup.cfg, the pot file says its charset is iso-8859-1
2) I ran python setup.py extract_messages,
3) setup.py init_catalog -l es
4) edited the po file to include my translations which contains latin characters with accents. BTW the po file says the charset is utf8
5) setup.py compile_catalog utf8 error can't decode bytes at popsition 25-26 (caused by my accent marks)

Is looks like bable is not using the correct charset even though it has been set correctly in the pot file
