Miki Tebeka commented on AVRO-565:
----------------------------------
Russel, the problem is that you pass a *str* with unicode characters. Python
has no way of knowing the encoding and the default if 'ascii'. If you prepend a
'u' to make the body unicode:
{code}
email_hash = {'body': u"Verit\xc3\xa1\r\nEstat\xc3\xadstica\r\n"}
{code}
This will work since now it's a unicode string and it can be encoded.
As a side note - these kind of things were one of the reasons for Python 3. I
also recommend viewing [this
video|http://pyvideo.org/video/948/pragmatic-unicode-or-how-do-i-stop-the-pain]
which personally helped me.
I'll give you time to respond before closing this.
