TASK DESCRIPTION
(From
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23799692/pywikipedia-unicode-error)
when using pywikipedia to upload an image on my wiki, I get the following error whatever
the image:
```
$ python ./upload.py -noverify -keep ../converted/bcExtView_broker_53.jpg "Image
uploaded by word2mediawiki (BOT)"
No handlers could be found for logger "pywiki"
Logging in to af:en as afbot via API.
Should be logged in now
Reading file ../converted/bcExtView_broker_53.jpg
The suggested description is:
Image uploaded by word2mediawiki (BOT)
Uploading image file to af:en via API....
ERROR: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position
687: ordinal not in range(128)
WARNING: Could not open 'http://dsiwikis/afWiki/api.php'. Maybe the server or
your connection is down. Retrying in 1 minutes...
```
The last line is obviously an error as I can login...
