Error if author name contains non ascii chars like "ó" in "Antón"

[matutet]

I trying to use gitinspector on my repositories. All of them have authors with non ascii chars in its names (we are spanish developers).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/matutet/wrkspc.others/gitinspector/gitinspector.py", line 24, in <module>

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf3' in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

I am using MacOS. Not tested on other operating systems.

Hi @matutet. Gitinspector is behaving correctly. If you read traceback you can see that your terminal encoding is set to ascii - as such, it won't be able to display those international unicode characters in your terminal. This has been discussed several times before. See for example issues #122 and #9 for information on how to fix it. You can also redirect to a text file to get rid of the problem.

You're right. I was missing some locale vars. Now, after fixing it, is working

$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

Thanks for your quick answer. +1 for gitinspector :-)
