Look into using utf-8 encoded bytes/strings in pisi instead of the current latin-1 #71

Open ermo opened 5 months ago

Goal:

Ensure that the ypkg and pisi code bases are properly type annotated so it is obvious where strings are expected and where bytes are expected
Ensure that bytes are always encoded / decoded as UTF-8 and/or HTML escapes in both pisi and ypkg

Considerations:

iksemel now encodes things it cannot print as UTF-8 "Runes" via URL escapes
py2 pisi will need to be supported for the lifetime of Solus 4.x

Interesting locations in the code:

ypkg2/metadata.py:create_eopkg
pisi/archive.py:add_to_install
