Get a traceback while backuping my 1086 favorites.

super quick fix, i hope somebody sees it lol @ephes @alexdetsch @luebbert42

in repository.py add utf8 encodings in the functions:

• _write_models -> line 60
• _fetch_all -> line 70

you can do it in your local code @BigDi

Well, pydantic deliberately returns a unicode string when models.model_dump_json() is called. And calling write on a file opened in text mode should do the right thing on your operating system. Maybe your default encoding is something like cp1252?

Hmm, maybe it's enough just to overwrite the operating system default by calling:

        with self.path.open("w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
            f.write(models.model_dump_json())

This is still normal text mode, but would overwrite the default encoding and use utf-8. Can you try this and tell me if it works on windows?

[Kadz93]

I can confirm that the additional encoding solves the problem on windows.

Cool! I'll released 0.0.21 containing the fix.
