Comment:

 Hi Abhishek. Thanks for the catches! I just checked and couldn't repro any
 of these, so you'll need to take the lead with troubleshooting.

 {{{

 This is certainly odd. What distro are you running? If you print stime
 then what is it?

 This and the following test_non_ascii_descriptor failure are for the same
 thing. What version of python are you using? I'm a little surprised that
 I'm unable to repro this. The ending of the stacktrace...

 {{{
   File
 "/home/abhishek/checktor/stem/stem/descriptor/server_descriptor.py", line
 656, in digest
     raw_descriptor = str(self)
 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe5' in
 position 925: ordinal not in range(128)
 }}}

 ... is a little odd because RelayDescriptor extends ServerDescriptor,
 which extends Descriptor. The Descriptor class has a __str__ method which
 should simply be returning the unicode content we were constructed through
 without trying to decode anything.

 Cheers! -Damian
