UnicodeEncodeError #121

I am happily using attic 0.13 mostly on FreeBSD systems, however these days I found a weird problem while extracting files (see below). Seems attic cannot extract filenames in Cyrillic, but still no problems with creating or checking the repository with such files. Any clue in which direction I should solve the problem... or at leas temporal workaround?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/attic", line 3, in main() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/attic/archiver.py", line 715, in main exit_code = archiver.run(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/attic/archiver.py", line 705, in run return args.func(args) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/attic/archiver.py", line 208, in do_extract archive.extract_item(item) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/attic/archive.py", line 237, in extract_item st = os.lstat(path) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 21-26: ordinal not in range(128)

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

this solved the problem, all credits go to Vedrin :)
