Hi!
I used web2py a lot nowadays, and I'm very pleased with it. The only
problem I couldn't solve is when I try to use international (accented)
characters in a RSS feed created by web2py I always get an error. I've
tried to look into it, but I'm not enough experienced in Python and I
couldn't find where the error is.
I'm using web2py v1.81.5 (2010-07-22 23:56:21). Here's the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
