Cannot load data because of Unicode "Angstrom" sign #2

I set up an instance according to the test/README.md - everything was installing fine and I could log in. Only difference is that instead of conda, I used a "normal" virtualenv to install the dependencies.

When trying to load some data, I always get an error due to failed encoding of the Angstrom sign that is added to the plot in https://github.com/neutrons/web_reflectivity/blob/master/web_reflectivity/fitting/view_util.py#L755 - if I replace that with "AA" it works.

Are you by chance operating in an environment with sys.setdefaultencoding("utf8")?

Interesting. Which python version are you using, and on which platform? Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to contact me directly if you have other issues.

This is 2.7.15, on a Ubuntu 18.04 system. Will do - one of our scientists here at MLZ Garching was interested in the interface, and I set up the testing instance for him to try. I'm sure there will be more questions once he uploads some real data :)
