UnicodeEncodeError & IOError while using trac-admin init-env

[david.sillou@…]

After reinstalling trac with i10n catalogs (python ./setup.py compile_catalog -f then python setup.py bdist_egg then easy_install dist/Trac…egg) I'm not able to create trac envs anymore :

It worked pretty well before that : was using Trac-0.12dev_r81XX without catalogs compiled

PS: I hope I m not doing something wrong issuing this ticket; I did read the newTicketGuide and did search existing tickets.

Reproduced.

[Christian Boos]

raw_input is not unicode safe.

[Christian Boos]

proposed fix

[Christian Boos]

Please try the above patch.

[david.sillou@…]

it seems to fix the problem.

I m doing further testing right now.

Thank you very much.

[david sillou <david.sillou@…>]

I did finish the configuration of a new project in french.

All works now.

Changed to fixed (Hope I was supposed to)

Thanks again.

We only close tickets once the fix is applied in SVN.

I also added conversion of the input itself to unicode, so I backported the change to 0.11-stable (r8186), where this is useful as well.

Patch present in trunk as part of r8188.
