I had asked about this in a way that may have focused on
FeedController more than it should and didn't get any replies, so I'll
try wording it a little more generally and see if anyone has ideas for
me.
When my TG code, which otherwise works fine, processes certain
instances of external data from the web it occasionally crashes with
a
"type error: function takes exactly 5 arguments (1 given)"
I think I've narrowed down the data that is causing it to happen and
theorize the problem occurs in some behind the scenes unicode
functionality that TG does in it's Kid processing modules but only
when a character such as "&#151" is present in the data.
The end of the crash dump message is this:
...
\parser.py", line 227, in _coalesce
text += to_unicode(value, encoding)
File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\kid-0.9.5-py2.4.egg\kid
\parser.py", line 204, in to_unicode
return unicode(value, encoding)
type error: function takes exactly 5 arguments (1 given)
Processing the following snippet of XML seems to cause the crash.
It's a portion of an RSS news feed, and when I put some debug
conditional processing to skip over this snippet then the crash does
not happen. I am guessing that the offending character is the
"&#151"
following the word "education".

<description>AP - The federal government will spend more than $1
billion this year on nutrition education &#151; fresh carrot and
celery snacks, videos of dancing fruit, hundreds of hours of lively
lessons about how great you will feel if you eat well.</description>

Thanks very much in advance for any ideas about how I can add some
code to prevent the crash.
