Why am I getting 'ascii' codec Errors?
Up to table of contentsThis FAQ applies to: 0.1.99
When using the rss_manager module, I get 'ascii' codec errors .. sometimes ..
The problem is associated with Unicode characters being present in the RSS feed.
The solution to date is to tell your version of python to default to utf-8 as opposed to ascii as follows;
cd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ vi sitecustomize.py
Insert;
import sys, codecs
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
