Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python
Maybe I don't understand something. I never before needed str.encode() so I don't know how to setup it. My programm using MySQLdb worked two weeks ago, now I got: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ... on /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/cursors.py line 146: query = query.encode("charset") I've upgraded to edgy lately. The same exception is raised in simple code It may be connected with bugs like bug #15407, bug #46027, bug #50478, bug #57067 ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- str.encode() dosn't work as expected https://launchpad.net/bugs/61036 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
