UnicodeEncodeError with char '\u0361'

[Naught0]

Here is the setup of the main client

self.redis_client = aredis.StrictRedis(host='localhost', decode_responses=True)

This is the statement which the error surrounds.

await self.redis_client.set(f'memecache:{f_search}', f'{link}', ex=86400)

The URL in question is:
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hentai-woody-%E5%A4%89%E6%85%8B%E3%82%A6%E3%83%83%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC
(the URL is a result of searching the site for the Buzz Lightyear meme and accidentally coming across this which happened to introduce a bug).

Full traceback:

tmux is weird about scrolling in my TTY, so hopefully that traceback is coherent enough.

Don't worry, I will check about that

@Naught0
Decode bug is fixed and tested with code like below:

client = StrictRedis(host='127.0.0.1', port=6379, db=0, decode_responses=True)
link = '\u0251'
f_search = 'BuzzLightyear'
await client.set(f'memecache:{f_search}', f'{link}')
await client.get(f'memecache:{f_search}')

If you don't mind, could you try it with command:
pip install git+https://github.com/NoneGG/aredis

Sorry, I've been out! Thanks for the prompt reply. I will test the git version immediately and report back.

Would you look at that, it worked like a charm. Thanks again for the fix!
