Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tgr (tgr_) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Unicode error when handling non-ASCII network errors

Initial Comment: The error handler for Site.postData in wikipedia.py line 5248 (in r8821) casts an exception to a string:

except Exception, e: output(u'%s' %e)

This will fail with a UnicodeDecodeError if the exception message contains non-ASCII characters (which is often the case for network error messages on non-English Windows).
