Hello,
I have created a setup.py file for distirbution and I bumped into
a small bug when i tried to set my name in the contact field (Tarek Ziadé)
Using string (utf8 file):
setup(
maintainer="Tarek Ziadé"
)
leads to:
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/register.py",
line 162, in send_metadata
auth)
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/register.py",
line 257, in post_to_server
value = unicode(value).encode("utf-8")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 10:
ordinal not in range(128)
Using unicode:
setup(
maintainer=u"Tarek Ziadé"
)
leads to:
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py",
line 1094, in write_pkg_file
file.write('Author: %s\n' % self.get_contact() )
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position
18: ordinal not in range(128)
I would propose a patch for this problem but i don't know what would be the
best input (i guess unicode
for names)
Regards
Tarek
