Unexpected error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 (UnicodeDecodeError)
Raw
gistfile1.txt
I got this message when I tried to open a shell on my application:
$ dotcloud run www
==> Opening a shell on service (www) instance #0 (application trips)
Error: An unexpected error has occured: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 67: ordinal not in range(128).
The remote server handling the last request was 174.129.124.156:443.
The remote timestamp was Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:06:19 GMT.
Please try again; and if the problem persists, contact support@dotcloud.com with this information.
Adding the following to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sitecustomize.py fixed the error:
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")
(Make sure that you are patching the correct python environment e.g. python2.6, python2.7,...)
