bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0301' in position 48: ordinal not in range(128)

Im trying to get a branch and bzr shows next traceback...

root@anaperez:/home/openerp# bzr branch lp:openerp-mexico-localization
bzr: warning: unsupported locale setting
  bzr could not set the application locale.
  Although this should be no problem for bzr itself, it might
  cause problems with some plugins. To investigate the issue,
  look at the output of the locale(1p) tool.
You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".

I've solved the problem setting up correctly the locales of my computer.

$ sudo locale-gen

Is It possible?

[Martin Packman (gz)]

See the existing bug entry for some workarounds, the fix will be in the next bzr release.

[Martin Pascualon (martinfpas)]

I have the same issue in windows. Any ideas?

Best Regards
Martin

Martin, in case of linux, the solution was a wrong locale configuration, i think in your case yo need check the regional configuration, regards!
