pycurl setopt not working with unicode input

[Sun Ning]

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04, Gwibber doesn't work any more.
There is no special logs printed out even in debug mode

Strangely, there is some updates always shown in the search page.
See the attachment.

well, I got the stacktrace of gwibber-service:

I got the problem
The text saving user's credential is encoded as unicode, however, if you passing unicode the pycurl.setopt, you will get a typeerror
So to solve this problem, use this instead of the original line:

self.curl.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, ("%s:%s" % (username, password)).encode("ascii"))

Can't reproduce on 2.90.31 - I used twitter with unicode symbols in the password. Is the issue still reproducable? Are there any special preconditions?

closing this bug. please re-open if this is still an issue with gwibber 2.32.0.2
