I have found that Akismet spam filtering isn't working for me with Python
3.3-- after a bit of investigating, the problem seems to be in
mezzanine.utils.views.is_spam_akismet. The following Exception is always
being raised:
try:
response = urlopen(Request(api_url, urlencode(data), headers)).read()
except Exception:
return False
and is "POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of
type str" this seems to be a Python 3.3 thing, and it works if I
(re-?)encode data as utf-8 after it has been urlencoded:
urlencode(data).encode('utf-8').
Is this a bug? Can anyone shed any light on this? With the Exception being
silently caught, nothing gets classified as spam.
