James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4677:
-------------------------------------------
There isn't a lot of information in this, especially to reproduce it. I'm
going to lower the severity.
> UnicodeDecodeError in Python3
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-4677
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4677
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python - Library
> Environment: Operating System: Windows 10 Pro (Simplified Chinese)
> Python Interpreter: Python 3.6.6
> {{osquery}} Version: 3.3.0
> {{osquery-python}} Version: 3.0.5
>
> Reporter: Jarry Shaw
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: compat.py
>
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h
>
> This is an issue occurred when using
> [osquery-python|https://github.com/osquery/osquery-python] (Python binding of
> [osquery|https://osquery.io/] by Facebook).
> When querying, {{UnicodeDecodeError}} raised with error message: "{{'utf-8'
> codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: invalid continuation byte}}" from
> {{thrift.compat.binary_to_str}}, which is because the encoding of {{bin_val}}
> parameter should be "{{gbk}}".
> Possible approaches are:
> * add a parameter for user to determine encodings
> * get the system encoding through {{locale.getpreferredencoding()}}
> * call {{bin_val.decode}} with {{errors='replace'}} or {{errors='ignore'}}
> parameter
> * introduce {{chardet}} to try and resolve encoding problems
> The attachment is my hack solution to this issue (through not perfect).
