C++ API Binding Fails on non-ASCII Strings #736

Closed kzscisoft closed 4 years ago

kzscisoft commented 4 years ago

Use of special symbols such as σ² within the definitions of point-estimates or distributions currently causes the C++ API binding to fail with the error:

C++ exception with description "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xce in position 219: ordinal not in range(128)

Heads up @mrow84 @bobturneruk - the "data pipeline api" label was applied to this issue.

This was due to the Ubuntu container on which the tests were running not having locales installed (see the CI file).
