UnicodeEncodeError

[Former user]

Both

pybtex jlm-bibexample.aux

and

pybtex -e utf8 jlm-bibexample.aux

give

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u015b' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

The aux file is created with XeLaTeX and contains in particular

\bibcite{świdziński13:_test}{{4}{2013}{{Świdziński}}{{}}}

Bug or feature?

Best regards

Janusz

Can you please post the full traceback and attach the whole jlm-bibexample.aux file and the .bib file you are using so I could reproduce the erorr?

Also, what version are you using? (pybtex --version)

[Former user]

pybtex-0.15

The database is missing some references, but it should not crash the program.

Actually I switched to biblatex/biber, but I post the requested files in hope it may help other pybtex users.

Thanks Janusz,

Actually you forgot to include the .bib file, but I believe this bug has been already fixed in recent versions. Could you please try pybtex-0.17 and see if it works?

[Former user]

Only pybtex-0.15 is available on Debian, even in testing and unstable distribution. Somebody should make a request to update it.

As I said earlier, I switched to biblatex/biber, so I have no motivation to do it myself.

• status: open --> closed-fixed

[Andrey Golovizin]

OK, closing this bug then.
