Unicode in loncapa (python) scripts raises an exception in ficus #25

Closed pdpinch closed 7 years ago

pdpinch commented 7 years ago

Courseware that contains python with unicode throws an error in Studio and lms. This used to work fine in dogwood, but was apparently broken in

edX JIRA ticket CRI-66 has a good test case and a solution for this. I don't know why the fix was never merged.

This is causing problems for MITx Residential, and we'd like to fix it asap. After that, we should open a PR upstream in edx-platform.

In the mitodl branch, the line that needs to be changed is https://github.com/mitodl/edx-platform/blob/master/common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/capa_base.py#L703
