unicode exception when evaluating expression with non-ascii characters

[jstenar]

When evaluating an expression at the prompt with non-ascii characters I get an exception using commit e881f31, windows7, python 2.7

Example:

In [2]: print u"åäö"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\python27\Lib\logging\__init__.py", line 842, in emit
    msg = self.format(record)
  File "C:\python27\Lib\logging\__init__.py", line 719, in format
    return fmt.format(record)
  File "C:\python27\Lib\logging\__init__.py", line 467, in format
    s = self._fmt % record.__dict__
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x86 in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)
Logged from file logger.py, line 74
åäö

Can you do %debug and see where the relevant call into logging is? Thanks.

unfortunately it doesn't help

In [2]: %debug
ERROR: No traceback has been produced, nothing to debug.

I found the problem. It is not ipython related but a debug logger in pyreadline that I had active.
