Failed to install mailpipe on sandstorm due to non-ascii name string

[franc0is]

Debug logs below. Mailpipe croaks when trying to install it on sandstorm, most likely because my account name countains non-ascii characters (Fran_ç_ois Baldassari). Looks like sandstorm is passing a utf-8 string to Mailpipe, whereas the python code probably expects UCS2. a .decode('utf-8') call would probably fix the issue.

Can you try and manually install https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzLCOahiEfRWMVo5Z1BwczFKaWs/edit?

If it works for you, we'll push it to the app list.

@jparyani looks like it does the trick. Happy logs below. Thanks! Out of curiosity, what's the patch?

It was exactly as simple as you said. I just added .decode('utf-8') to all the relevant strings. You can see it in 17f36994c9fd28dea97da8bdfd2198dde98c6885
