title: Eclipse, PyDev and Python configuration error
body: <p>I decided to try to work with Eclipse and PyDev instead of IDLE.
  I successfully "installed" Eclipse SDK 3.7.
  After that, I followed the steps displayed on the PyDev website and successfully installed the plugin.
  However, when trying to configure my interpreter (Python 3.2.3), I always get an error, and don't know how to fix this.
  I cannot configure it neither automatically nor manually, and there is no reference to this error on the PyDev website.</p>
  
  <p>When trying to configure it automatically, the message displayed is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to gather the needed info from the system.
  
  This usually means that your interpreter is not in the system PATH.
  com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to configure it manually, the message displayed is the same, adding that some common causes for this problem may be incompatible versions. I have the latest Java (which is one of the requirements, Eclipse was downloaded just yesterday from their site and is 3.7 version (Indigo), and Python is version 3.2.3.</p>
  
  <p>I even tried to add a folder containing the libraries, because, from what I understand, this would also do the trick. However, whenever I click the <code>New Folder</code> button, it does nothing...</p>
  
  <p>I am running all this on Windows 7 32-bit.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone can help me in this matter, I would be very grateful. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>

  &gt; 1: The path to the Python interpreter is C:\Python32\python.exe
