[6-stable] action rule crashes when name in foreign language

[Grzegorz Grzelak (OpenGLOBE.pl)]

I have checked it is the same in 6.0.3.

When you use system in country using extended character set (like in Poland) you will get lead name (subjects) with national character. Fe if leads are created automatically from incoming mail.

Try to create lead manually with subject "Urządzenie - oferta" (note character "ą"), Then if you wish to trigger some server action according to this subject and subject contains national characters you will get crash error like below.

Fixing suggestion in next entry.

[Grzegorz Grzelak (OpenGLOBE.pl) (grzegorz-og.pl)]

I have found fix for that from bug #564486. So I tried changes in lines 359 and 360 as below and it works. At the beginning I added
from tools import ustr #gg change

359 ptrn = re.compile(ustr(reg_name)) #gg change
360 _result = ptrn.search(ustr(obj.name)) # gg change

Please add ustr in both lines as lead subject AND regular expression should accept foreign characters.

All the best
GG.
