swmmtoolbox usage / output error

[Former user]

We installed swmmtoolbox on ubuntu server 16.04 LTS using pip command:

#!

pip install swmmtoolbox

We are trying to use it this way:

swmmtoolbox listdetail file_name.out node

and we get this error:

 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\ufffd' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

Is this the correct way?

I suspect that you have a Unicode character in one of the link or node names. I use � (u'\ufffd') as a replacement character for anything that isn't ASCII, however it seems that either Python 2 or Python 3 doesn't like that now.

Until I get a fix, try renaming links and nodes only with ASCII characters. You will then have to rerun SWMM.

Is it possible for you to upload the problem file_name.out as an attachment to this issue so that Ian use it in my tests?

Kindest regards, Tim
