UnicodeDecodeError on "set" command

[NullNoname]

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10. The "set" command crashes whole program no matter what:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pmsyt", line 2033, in
main()
File "/usr/local/bin/pmsyt", line 2028, in main
screen_update()
File "/usr/local/bin/pmsyt", line 876, in screen_update
print(py2utf8_encode(g.content))
File "/usr/local/bin/pmsyt", line 69, in
py2utf8_encode = lambda x: x.encode("utf8")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 206: ordinal not in range(128)

Never mind... I just forgot to set the system encoding to UTF-8 in Python.

$ sudo nano /usr/lib/python2.7/sitecustomize.py
Added the following at the bottom of the file:
import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

Sorry for sending wrong issue report.

Glad you sorted it. Could you tell me why you needed to set pythons defualt encoding in sitecustomize.py? Are you using a localised version of Ubuntu? I have never needed to do that. There is a similar issue reported here that I am trying to help resolve https://github.com/np1/pms/issues/45
