Well, undo the nothing that you didn't change. ;)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb6 in position 0:
invalid start byte
[Thu Jul 04 11:35:14 2013] [error] [client 108.162.229.97] Premature end
of script headers: metrites.py
Why cant it decode the starting byte? what starting byte is that?
It's the 0xb6 but it's expecting the starting byte of a UTF-8 sequence.
Please do some research on UTF-8, that should clear it up. You could
also search for common causes of that error.
So you are also suggesting that what gesthostbyaddr() returns is not
utf-8 encoded too?
What character is 0xb6 anyways?
Well, it's from a bytestring, so you'll have to specify what encoding
you're using! (It clearly isn't UTF-8.)
If it's ISO-8859-7 (what you've previously referred to as "greek-iso"),
then:
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name(b"\xb6".decode("ISO-8859-7"))
'GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS'
You'll need to find out where that bytestring is coming from.
