Crash everytime I click 'Show Calendar' (UnicodeEncodeError)

[sunemi]

When I click 'Show Calendar' Apport just pops up telling me the app has crashed. I can reproduce this every time. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. Calendar-Indicator version: 0.1.0.8.precise.1-1ubuntu1

From the apport .crash file I have:
Traceback:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/calendar-indicator/calendarindicator.py", line 361, in menu_show_calendar_response
     cd = CalendarWindow(self.googlecalendar,calendar_id=self.calendar_id)
   File "/usr/share/calendar-indicator/calendarwindow.py", line 233, in __init__
     self.set_date()
   File "/usr/share/calendar-indicator/calendarwindow.py", line 272, in set_date
     print(aevent['summary'])
 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf8' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

From the last line it seems the app is trying to ascii-encode the character 'ø' (Latin Small Letter O With Stroke) which can't be done. In my country this character is used very commonly (both in event descriptions and in the name of some weekdays). Events with descriptions containing the character show up just fine on the list when I click the indicator.

Here is a very rough patch against my version (0.1.0.7.precise.2).

I simply utf-8-encode the event-summary before print is called. This stops the crashing and shows the calendar with all special characters in event summary.

Not sure about regressions though, since I don't know the codebase. (Will this affect event editing for instance?)

To avoid confusion about the version numbers. It's the same version, but different version numbers are reported from dpkg and the app itself.

[calendar icon in gnome-panel]-> 'Help' -> 'About' reports '0.1.0.7.precise.2'

but dpkg reports Version: 0.1.0.8.precise.1-1ubuntu1 (see below)

Same bug. Fixed by deleting all events with potential incorrect encoding.
But new error is, I have an event on Feb 2015. When I do "show calendar" I cannot browser Feb 2015 tab, others tab works fine. And the applet did not crash at that time.
