[Buildbot-devel] UnicodeDecodeError in webfrontend

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

That's very odd.  I don't see why Python would be attempting to
*decode* a bytestring in

                    time = time.strftime("%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S",
                                        time.localtime(util.now())),

util.now() returns an int or float.  localtime returns a tuple of nine
integers.  And strftime *generates* strings.

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8')
'de_DE.UTF-8'
>>> strftime("%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", localtime())
'Fr 01 M\xc3\xa4r 2013 20:48:27'
>>> dict(time=strftime("%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", localtime()))
{'time': 'Fr 01 M\xc3\xa4r 2013 20:49:57'}

Anyone else see what I'm missing?
