> In general, GRASS doesn't care about encodings; it just deals with
bytes. Unfortunately, this isn't something which can readily be fixed.
I should have mentioned that while it can't actually be "fixed", it can
fail less hard. The str.decode() method accepts an optional second
argument, "errors", which can be "strict" (raise an exception), "replace"
(replace unconvertible sequences with U+FFFD) or ignore (silently discard
unconvertible sequences).
The default is "strict". utils.!DecodeString should probably use one of
the others, particularly if the output is just text which is going to be
shown to the user. "strict" should only be used in situations where an
error is preferable to an "approximate" value.
