'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)

[Neil Wallace (rowinggolfer)]

I've seen this before, and it relates to the uk pound sign, an issue I thought I had fixed.

could you please indicate which version you are running (the bazaar version is best), and steps needed to duplicate the bug.

the version is displayed at startup, or under "about openmolar" in the menu.

if the gui doesn't fire up at all, versioning can be got from the command line with
openmolar --version

thanks

Neil.

jesuma - thanks for that.

I am still unsure at which point during runtime you get this bug.

[jesuma (jesuma24)]

This reported bug occurs in Mint8. In another identical machine (dell 1420) I have ubuntu 9.10 and openmolar runs without problems.

This is a bug, you can start the program in a terminal from the user and put LANG=C and the program start Ok.. This is because you try to use Spanish lang or other..

regards!

[Neil Wallace (rowinggolfer)]

the real problem here is (I believe) some debugging code I had left in place. The strings are all encoded/decoded correctly for the application, but the output to the terminal was giving this error perhaps.

in any case, bzr version 686 should completely resolve this as the currency symbol is taken from python locale for everything. see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/openmolar/+bug/581498

I would like to close this bug, however, as it remains unclear what steps I have to take to reproduce the error, I am unable to do so.
jesuma - Could you please see if 686 resolves this for you ?

many thanks for reporting this.

Neil

Hi, I think that the problem is the translation to spanish, because I download the developer version and the error don't happends, the aplication show Euro symbol but don't have any translation and start in english..

regards!

[Neil Wallace (rowinggolfer)]

hopefully this is fixed for all translations.
there is no £ symbol anywhere in the code, the only issue could be a rogue £ symbol in your feetable?

the application should start in Spanish if that is your locale, if this is not the case, please file a separate bug giving precise version numbers.

regards

Neil.
