UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position ... #22

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

I am using opensocial python client 0.2 to validate requests coming
from orkut to my server. I am mimicking related example in this this
article ->
http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Building_an_OpenSocial_App_with_Googl
e_App_Engine,
and it works fine as long as the POST DATA contains only ASCII
characters.

But when the POST DATA contains some non English characters, the
following exception is thrown:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
0-8: ordinal not in range(128)

from inside get_normalized_paramaters (Refer oauth.OAuthRequest). I
think the last line, i.e.

return '&'.join('%s=%s' % (escape(str(k)), escape(str(v))) for k, v in
key_values)

throws the exception.

Googling tells me that this problem was faced earlier by many, but I
could not find any solution.
