Description Ryan Twitchell 2012-01-20 02:05:28 UTC

eix, with doc use flag, fails to build with python 3.2, raising a UnicodeDecodeError.  This appears to result use of an ascii decoder while generating documentation.  Turning off the doc use flag allowed the package to build.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Martin Väth 2012-01-21 16:35:57 UTC

eix just calls rst2html.py from docutils.

The real bug seems to be that rst2html.py breaks with python-3.2
if UTF8 input is used. (rst2html.py does not depend on python-2*).

As a workaround, I will remove the Umlaut from my name in the documents
(which was the reason for UTF8), but this is of course only a workaround.

I change the summary correspondingly so that the real bug can be correctly
assigned and fixed.

You should call rst2html.py with --input-encoding=utf-8 option.

Thanks.

Although I do not like that the default input-encoding has a
different meaning for python-3 than for python-2, I understand
why this is so (the behavior was strictly speaking not defined
in python-2), so I leave this bug as fixed.

Comment 7 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2012-01-24 15:27:39 UTC

dev-python/docutils-0.9_pre7298 from Progress Overlay contains some improvements and works with UTF-8 characters even if non-UTF-8 locale is used.
