I'm an Linux user, currently running Unbuntu Maverick. Just updated from 7.18 to 7.36, but when I run the wizard I getting the following error:
ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:expected string without null bytes
Traceback (most recent call last):

also, got this when trying to convert to another format:

Tried reverting to 7.18, but the same problem happens. In truth, never really used 7.18 since switching to Maverick, so not sure when the problem began. No improvement after updating python.
