Package: python-xdg
Version: 0.19-2
Severity: normal
If I open a translated desktop file with LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8, the
following works as expected (ipython session):
In [1]: import xdg.DesktopEntry
In [3]: e=xdg.DesktopEntry.DesktopEntry()
In [4]: e.parse('plugins/Games/Chess.desktop')
In [5]: e.getName()
Out[5]: u'\xc9checs'
In [6]: print "%s" % e.getName()
------> print("%s" % e.getName())
Ãchecs
Now, if I use LC_ALL=fr_FR or fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 (which should be
equivalent), the final step instead throws:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc9' in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
It clearly fails to guess the correct charset to use.
By contrast, other programs in the same condition fallback to C
locale, which results in no error. I guess the xdg module should do
something similar.
