TED plugin cannot handle non-ASCII characters when scraping newest talks #85

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The "Newest Talks" link doesn't work at the moment because there it encounters 
non-ascii characters. I suspect "Béatrice Coron: Stories cut from paper". The 
following stack is logged:

Fix seems trivial. Attached a patch for resources/lib/util.py.
