Initialization fails on FreeCAD 0.18.3

[dxp21]

With that error (seems different from #12 ) :

During initialization the error 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 98: ordinal not in range(128) occurred in /Users/dxp/Library/Preferences/FreeCAD/Mod/ExplodedAssembly/InitGui.py
Please look into the log file for further information

I can't reproduce it. Does this persist if you update freecad? (daily)

[dxp21]

Can't reproduce with 0.19_pre either

Guess that it will resolve itself with the next stable release.

I can't see any workbench in the list I see only \<none>. No error is showing.

@giacomomarchioro is this still an issue for you?

@giacomomarchioro is this still an issue for you?

For me it still doesn't work I don't know if it's due to the old operating system El Capitan. I'll try tomorrow again.

I found https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/5509#issuecomment-416037701 and ran: grep -r -P '[^\x00-\x7f]' inside ./Mod/ExplodedAssembly
Resulting in:

@JMG1 perhaps the unicode in your name is b0rking some users systems?

Edit: @giacomomarchioro perhaps you can:

1. Go in to your ~/.FreeCAD/Mod/ExplodedAssembly/ directory
2. ~fire up an editor and erase the lines with unicode (i wish i could hack a 1 liner for you to run that would do this, but I don't know how)~
   Run from terminal: for f in *.{py,md}; do sed -i '' '/Javier/d' $f; done
3. Restart FreeCAD

PS unless there is a way we can get @giacomomarchioro's system to recognize the unicode instead?
