Unicode encoding bug

[Juju]

Hello,

One of my plugins was working well since several weeks, and today (or perhaps since I have installed Mountain Lion, I don't know ...) I have an error when I try to create a device :

Code: Select all

  File "plugin.py", line 415, in getContractParameters
  File "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 5/IndigoPluginHost.app/Contents/PlugIns/plugin_base.py", line 1063, in openSerial
<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

After searching in the forum, I read it is an error relating to unicode encoding. But I don't know where to search in my code ... It seems it's in openSerial, really ?

It looks like the ownerName parameter you're sending to openSerial contains non-ASCII characters. We should probably handle that better in the plugin base class but to work around it you should make sure that what you're passing in ownerName is ASCII text.

Bingo !
I had some "é" in the name given to openSerial.
I don't understand why it was working before, but OK, problem is solved.

Thanks.
