UnicodeDecodeError when calling put_photo with an image generated with PIL

[honi]

For some reason, images generated with PIL throw a UnicodeDecodeError when trying to upload to Facebook.

Tested opening the image in Photoshop and saved as a new copy, and that image uploaded fine.

Would it be possible for you to provide an image that is causing this error? This would help with debugging.

Yes, of course: http://imagebin.org/224882. This image was generated with PIL.

I'm also debugging on my side, will post if anything new.

I've managed to make it work like this:

image = Image.open('/path/to/image.jpg')
image_io = StringIO()
image.save(image_io, 'jpeg', quality=95)
image_io.seek(0)

api = GraphAPI('oauth_token')
api.put_photo(image_io, 'Uploaded image from Facebook SDK')

One more thing be careful with.

Everything was working fine, until I added album_id parameter in put_photo. Then I started getting:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 345: ordinal not in range(128)

Turns out my album_id was an int. Just had to cast it to str() when calling put_photo for everything to work.

I am pretty sure that this issue has been fixed by moving to requests (which involved significant changes to how put_photo works). Closing.
