It's an easy fix, so I'll queue it for v2. You're still going to need Python 2.7 or greater for collections.OrderedDict(). We could word around that too, but do we really care about 2.6? I don't expect that the installed nmbug-status userbase is so large and backward that upgrading to 2.7 will be that hard ;). 2.6 isn't even getting security fixes anymore [1], so I think it's time to migrate :p. > File "devel/nmbug/nmbug-status", line 197, in _write_threads > ).format(**message_display_data)) > File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/codecs.py", line 351, in write > data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors) > UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u017b' in > position 176: ordinal not in range(128) Hmm. __future__'s unicode_literals should be giving us a Unicode target, so I'm not sure why we'd have trouble injecting Unicode. This works fine for me on Python 2.7 and 3.3. Maybe you just have a funky encoding? What is your: $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 … $ python -c 'import locale, sys; print(locale.getpreferredencoding() or sys.getdefaultencoding())' UTF-8 Cheers, Trevor [1]: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/ -- This email may be signed or encrypted with GnuPG (http://www.gnupg.org).
