Typographer quotes causing problems in API calls from Python #3590

Closed kshaffer closed 8 years ago

kshaffer commented 8 years ago

Steps to reproduce

  1. Make an API call from Python for an annotation/highlighted passage that contains typographer quotes.

    Expected behaviour

Typographer quotes should come through as unicode character.

Actual behaviour

In Python 3, they are unrecognized characters.

Browser/system information

Python 3, using requests and json modules.

Additional details

Using ast module fixes the issue: https://github.com/kshaffer/pypothesis/pull/1. But since this doesn't happen in PHP (http://pushpullfork.com/uncategorized/testing-the-skeleton-of-a-hypothesis-aggregator-plugin-for-wordpress/) it might be an issue with my Python code? I've wrestled with unicode and utf-8 a lot in Python, but do not claim to be an expert.

@kshaffer - Could you provide a Gist of the code that you are trying to run, including the actual URL of an annotation that is causing problems for you?

I'm going to close this issue for the moment as we need more details in order to confirm there is a problem.
