[Buildbot-devel] utf-8 woes

[Andy Howell]

Marcus,

The offending characters are left and right single quotes, E2 80 98, and E2 80 99. Why GCC
is using these I don't know.

00000a60  65 6e 74 2e 63 70 70 3a  38 3a 20 65 72 72 6f 72  |ent.cpp:8: error|
00000a70  3a 20 e2 80 98 64 64 64  64 64 64 72 72 34 e2 80  |: ...ddddddrr4..|
00000a80  99 20 64 6f 65 73 20 6e  6f 74 20 6e 61 6d 65 20  |. does not name |

It seems that the MailNotifier class in buildbot/status/base.py defaults to utf-8
encoding. Hopefully a little sleep will better my chances of understanding python's
unicode handling :)

Thanks,

	Andy
