UnicodeEncodeError thrown on images with non-ASCII filenames

[neomanic]

I've recently upgraded from ImageKit 2 all the way through to the current version in the process of migrating to Python 3, and I'm running into an error with filenames containing unicode: namely loading an admin page with an AdminThumbnail as one of the columns.

I've attached unicode_error_traceback.txt, which occurred for two files: one with \u2013 (en-dash) and one with '\u2019' (curly quotes). Once I manually changed these filenames to have only ASCII characters, the problems went away.

Now I'm rather perplexed since:

• I haven't changed any caching backend settings,
• my locale settings seem to be fine (all en_US.UTF-8),
• the files uploaded and displayed fine (although that was based on the previous Python 2.7 version),
• sys.getfilesystemencoding() returns 'utf-8',
• os.stat(random_filename_with_unicode_characters) works fine

Thoughts?

This happens on development environment also or only on production environment? If it is happening on production only how you check which locale is set?

Both environments. I didn’t have the Unicode file names in my dev environment though, so I didn’t encounter the error. Fixed that in my tests now!
