GcalCLI agenda - DeprecationWarning & UnicodeDecodeError

[sirald66]

Binary package hint: gcalcli

Ubuntu 9.04 - Linux 2.6.28-15-generic
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Python 2.6.2
gcalcli 1.4-1

EXPECTED: Run the command below, get 5 day agenda.

ACTUAL: Appeared to show most of 5 day agenda, but received DeprecationWarning & UnicodeDecodeError.

NOTE: Bug #364951 appears closely related, but the errors are different.

FYI - Using gcalcli because Google Calendar Notifier 2.5.3 extension is not Firefox 3.5 compatible; it ran flawlessly; author abandoned support with suggestion of disabling compatibility checking. This would be great integrated into a Gnome Panel.

Would you two be able to try the version of gcalcli available at https://bitbucket.org/edgimar/gcalcli/raw/tip/gcalcli , and see if this problem still occurs?

WORKING ON ISSUE WITH MARK

[Unit 193 (unit193)]

Howdy,

10+ years on, and gcalcli has undergone tons of work, including porting to python3 which fixes a *lot* of unicode errors. If a bug like this still occurs, feel free to open a new bug that will include the current traceback and other debugging information.

Thanks,
~Unit 193
