Making a 0.14.2 release just for non-ASCII chars sounds like a bit too
much. Don't you think it's possible to just replace the non-ASCII by
an arbitrary ascii char such as "?"?
For instance with:
>>> u"\xe9".encode('ascii', 'replace')
'?'
We if we fix critical bugs we might indeed consider doing a 0.14.2
release. I don't think there is any reported though.
