Seems unlikely to me. > What about this, i printed out some variables: > print sys.stdout.encoding -> UTF-8 > print sys.stdin.encoding -> UTF-8 > print sys.getdefaultencoding(); -> ascii > Is it ok that sys.getdefaultencoding(); == ascii ? These are fine. I've reproduced - at the best of my capabilities - your environment: - no IMDbPY installed in the system. - IMDbPY from source (the latest version in the Mercurial repository), setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to the source directory. - the cutils C module was not compiled. - the last actors.list.gz file. - postgres 8.4; my database was created with these settings: CREATE DATABASE imdb WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'UTF8' TABLESPACE = pg_default LC_COLLATE = 'it_IT.utf8' LC_CTYPE = 'it_IT.utf8' CONNECTION LIMIT = -1; I've run it with your and other portions of the actors.list.gz file, and everything went fine. Now... if I were you, I'd: - create a virtualenv environment with: virtualenv --no-site-packages - install in it IMDbPY, using easy_install or pip (the executable in your virtualenv, I mean) so that you'll have all the correct dependecies available. - run the imdbpy2sql.py within your virtualenv. If it still fails: - check your postgres settings. - try using SQLite (just for a test) - see notes in README.sqldb HTH, -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://www.mimante.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fulfilling the Lean Software Promise Lean software platforms are now widely adopted and the benefits have been demonstrated beyond question.
