I posted a blog entry to a wordpress 3.0.5 blog (with de language files) but i
can't open or edit the entry with charm again.
The following error message appears.
Traceback (most recent call last):

f.write(text)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position
64: ordinal not in range(128)
Obviously charm can't detect my local UTF-8 environment which causes python
falling back to ascii. I am using special characters
like german umlauts which are not displayed by ascii.
I've read python >=3 is using a different mechanism and switches to unicode
instead of ascii if it's not able to detect the correct locals.
Maybe there are two solutions:
1. Charm should depend on python >=3 which most likely solves this issue. (not
tested and not recommended because charm should work with
python >=2.5 too)
2. Force charm to encode all input with UTF-8
change the following lines in charm:
1129 mfile.write("%s=%s\n" % (k, self.Params[k].encode('UTF-8')))
2360 f.write("Subject: " + self.Params["subject"].encode('UTF-8')
+ "\n")
5329 f.write(text.encode('UTF-8'))
So on my system i got rid of the bug but it could cause trouble on others and
maybe it's not generic enough. Perhaps it helps someone.
Regards
Markus
