Hi all,

I have written a small python xmlrpc server which checks logfiles of a
build
sending notifications to the responsible teams. On a machine I'm
forced to
a problem with one logfile with special characters inside generated by
a
gnu compiler.

Using cheetah for generating the HTML mail I get a:
('ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 25868: ordinal not
in range(128))

I have found characters like this:
error: expected type-specifier before â<80><98>Assocâ<80><99>
(copy and paste of a linux console)

I have tried different mechanism but very probably I do not understand
how the decode/encode functionality is working. Can somebody help me
to get out of that problem?

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Your email(s) get send as 7 bit (ASCII). Email them as utf-8 and I guess
your problem is solved.

How do you email the notifications?

I was copying partly the logic from http://code.activestate.com/recipes/473810
Changing to buffer.decode("utf-8", 'replace') where I'm reading the
file and
changing the html template at top to utf-8 leads to following output:

File "/srv/buildManager/BuildManagerMail.py", line 27, in sendMail
msgText = MIMEText(htmlMessage, 'html')
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/mime/text.py", line 30, in __init__
self.set_payload(_text, _charset)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/message.py", line 224, in
set_payload
self.set_charset(charset)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/message.py", line 264, in
set_charset
cte(self)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/encoders.py", line 73, in
encode_7or8bit
orig.encode('ascii')
AttributeError: 'DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate' object has no
attribute 'encode'

Most likely you have to do something like this

msgText = MIMEText('your HTML utf-8 message')
msg.set_charset('utf-8')
msgAlternative.attach(msgText)

Or:

msgText = MIMEText('your HTML utf-8 message', 'utf-8') [1]
msgAlternative.attach(msgText)


[1] with a quick Google I found one message stating that this didn't
work for utf-8, in Python 3.1.1, see:
