in wikipedia.py network error handling
Initial Comment:
A pywikipedia user received this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\progik\pywikipedia\pagegenerators.py", line 801, in __iter__
for loaded_page in self.preload(somePages):
File "D:\progik\pywikipedia\pagegenerators.py", line 826, in preload
wikipedia.getall(site, pagesThisSite)
File "D:\progik\pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 3887, in getall
_GetAll(site, pages, throttle, force).run()
File "D:\progik\pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 3698, in run
output(u''.join(traceback.format_exception(*sys.exc_info())))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 36:
ordinal

She is using a Hungarian Windows, so I'm assuming the system error message has some
non-ASCII character causing this error. The error is annoying because it this hides the
actual network error, and makes it hard to diagnose the real problem.
She uses Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r7537, 2009/10/23, 17:13:00) with Python
2.6.3 (r263rc1:75186, Oct 2 2009, 20:40:30) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)].
