Ascii decode error on install

[oleiade]

Hi!

I'm trying to pip install the library on ubuntu 14.04, in a virtualenv set up to use python3.3. And I end up with an ascii decode error thrown by the setup.py.

Here's the command I'm using to install:

pip install --allow-all-external --no-input --exists-action=w -r requirements.txt

Here's the output:

           ----------------------------------------
           Cleaning up...

I'm not sure about the proper solution. Maybe casting the long_description variable input to unicode explicitly when we're using python3?

Let me know,
Thanks!

Thanks for this feedback !

Indeed, there should be something about special characters in the README file.
As you said, I guess that casting to unicode should make it !
Can you try please ?

Hi, i've encountered same problem with python 3.4 on debian wheezy. I had to install the locales-all package to fix this.

[leplatrem]

Based on your error :

>>> open('README.rst').read()[5022]
'©'

I will remove this special character :)

[leplatrem]

Can you check now ? If the bug was fixed, I'll release a new version. Thanks !

Still getting this error:

pip3.4 install --user django-leaflet

I am running the newest version of pip

Hi,
I have the same error here (on one of my ubuntu setups, not both, but they are both relatively vanilla ubuntu 14.04, so I don't know what's going on...)
Bests,
Olivier

By removing the content of README.rst and CHANGES, the installation works, so it must be an easy bug to fix.

If you can't wait : pip3 install -e git+https://github.com/olivierdalang/django-leaflet.git#egg=django-leaflet

[leplatrem]

Yes, we might have to read those files using utf8 codec, as it is done here:
https://github.com/mozilla-services/cliquet/blob/master/setup.py

Would like to try it and open a pull request please?

Workaround (ubuntu trusty minimal):
$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pip3 install django-leaflet

[cleder]

setenv LANG en_GB.UTF-8 solves this on freebsd with csh
