Hi,
I got the following error while r5464 / r5465:
M misc/z-displaycal-apply-profiles.desktop
Generating __version__.py
Bumping version number 3.6.1.0 -> 3.6.1.1

UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xc3 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)Regards

Can’t reproduce. Why is it saying 3.6.1.1? Are there local modifications? You’ll have to figure out on what exactly it is failing. A few print statements should help.
Hi,
In fact, I was trying to build a debian package from the source tree.
This worked fine until svn r5464/r6465.
I already have this same message in the past on a personal applications and I solved it specifying the encoding.
For displaycal, I’ve used the following patch and it works this way (on my linux, probably other operating system will complain):
diff -ruN orig/setup.py new/setup.py

That’s not what you should be doing, though (you can find examples of why sys.setdefaultencoding is a bad idea all over the web).
Instead, you should figure out where exactly the error originates by (e.g.) adding a
print repr(key), repr(val)inside the loop beforetmpl_data = tmpl_data.replace(“${%s}” % key, val).In fact, I know where…
This is related to french locale: we are in August and in French, it is août (with a circumflex on the “u”).
In Utf-8, it is encoded as 0xC3 0xBB (c3bb)
And the system is complaining about 0xc3
