UnicodeDecodeError in Plone-2.5

                UnicodeDecodeError in Plone-2.5


LinguaPlone-0.9 when used with Plone-2.5 raises a Unicode error.

Reason :

Python has unicode support. It translates strings into default encoding which is 'ascii'.


Hence, Strings which contain non-Ascii character will raise a unicode error.

To prevent this error , change the  default encoding to 'utf8'


Solution:

create sitecustomize.py

in $PYTHON//site-packages/sitecustomize.py

with the following
-------------------------------------------------

import sys

sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')


-------------------------------------------------

& restart instance & python.
