Russian characters in a SoftwareConfig cause the stack to fail

[Steve Barbieri]

I am using a standalone Kilo heat engine. I have this simple template that writes data to a file. The data contains Russian characters.

heat_template_version: 2013-05-23

description: >
  Simple template

resources:
  server:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    properties:
      user_data: {get_resource: server_mime}
      user_data_format: RAW
      name: "my-instance"
      image: "some_image_id"
      flavor: m1.medium
      key_name: my_key
      availability_zone: nova

  server_mime:
    type: OS::Heat::MultipartMime
    properties:
      parts:
        - config: { get_resource: test_config }
          subtype: "x-shellscript"

  test_config:
    type: OS::Heat::SoftwareConfig
    properties:
      config: |
        #!/usr/bin/env bash
        echo "The is text Юпитер" > /tmp/test

Stack creation fails with:

Resource CREATE failed: UnicodeEncodeError: resources.server_mime: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 38-43: ordinal not in range(128)

The stack is created successfully if I bypass the MultipartMime and specify:

     user_data: {get_resource: test_config}

in the OS::Nova::Server resource

Kilo is now EOL. Since you're running standalone can you upgrade to Mitaka and retest?

I took a test in latest version, same error raised.
