Avatar Picase Search isn't working with unicode strings

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
using Picasa Web Search with unicode string (utf-8)
like 'ישראל' from Avatar pages

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected search in picase for 'ישראל'
but, it's crash on Unicode Error when gData uses str() on the uri

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
A fix for it, using 'django.utils.encoding.iri_to_uri'

if request.method=="POST" and request.POST.get('keyword'):
        keyword = request.POST.get('keyword')
        keyword = iri_to_uri(keyword)
        gd_client = gdata.photos.service.PhotosService()
