fpb doesn't support Unicode in metadata.yaml

[Bartłomiej Piotrowski]

Following line in metadata.yaml:

   authors: ['Bartłomiej Piotrowski', 'Mirantis']

causes fuel-plugin-builder to fail with this error:

Unexpected error
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0142' in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)

Notice the "ł" in my name – its UTF-8 value is 0142.

Some metadata fields were used for creating Release file for plugin repos. I'm not sure Release file (and apt_preferences too) support non-ascii characters. For instance, authors were transformed into "Origin" field. We have a plan to remove "Origin" field from Release file. So make sure that the bug will be fixed when it's done.

It's not actually a duplicate. It should be fixed after this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel/+bug/1475665

    Modify 'render_to_file' function to make it operate on unicode objects

    If we have non-ascii chars in rendered template we might end up with
    UnicodeDecodeError exception when writing the content to a file. To
    eliminate this issue io.open is used with additional 'encoding'
    parameter
