Imported: http://tracker.labix.org/issue74
Reason for Import: Review Issue. Unicode/ascii issue. Can this be fixed?

The problem is that the package executes a command that returns UNICODE text.
The terminal is ready to accept it but not smart

Here is a package with problems in smart

I still got Unicode errors. Can't smart just remove the strange characters and
retry the operation? It will miss a character but not the operation.

smart 0.50 from suse guru package

Is this still an issue? I can not reproduce on ubuntu 6.10. Does python handle
Unicode better now? Ubuntu 6.10 runs python 2.4.

Can you please try the latest svn version of smart? It should fix some encoding
issues.

Cheers,
