module recorder broken on trunk: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3

Hi,
looks like the base_module_recorder is broken on trunk, everything looks all right untill you try to save the recorded stuff and then you get the following stack trace:

Seems to be OK on trunk now, thanks for the fix but please look at the reports and try to cross link bug reports and commits

Hi, sorry, but the bug is actually still here on trunk at least. Try to use the create a new partner dans save it using the module recorder and you'll get that kind of error for instance. Nevertheless, its seems there exist some kind of object working more or less with the module recorder, that's why I got misleaded, for instance saving a new stock location might produce some module with some XML but it doesn't seem it will then install properly.

Any thought?

fixed in trunk.

Okay, that one specifically seems to be fixed, but the report designer doesn't seem to work very well on trunk either:
try to record some stock locations linked together for instance, they will not get created then when you install the module. Anyway closing that one as it's a different bug.
