Re: [dev] [wmii] Python monitor function failure

You can use the codecs module.  Something like:

import codecs

@defmonitor
def anowplaying(self):
    try:
        np = codecs.open('/tmp/shell-fm', 'r', 'utf-8').read()
    except:
        np = ''
    return wmii.cache['normcolors'], np

Though im not so sure having a blanket except is so useful.



Also, this code is just an example, I havent actually typed it into an
interpreter.
