UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' .. u'\xf6' #451

Hello there,

I'm using khal with vdirsyncer to sync with my ownCloud. Some of the *.ics files produce errors when they are parsed by khal.

Error message:

Unknown exception happened.
Traceback (most recent call last):

The same happens with the characters u'\xe5' and u'\xf6'

Thank you for reporting this error. On first glance it looks like an error in collective/icalendar, I'll have a look ASAP. But for the time being, it should be fixed by "upgrading" to python 3 (where at least you should get a different error message).

geier commented 8 years ago

Which version of khal are you using?

k0nze commented 8 years ago

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation. Currently I'm using version 0.8.2 installed via brew for Mac OS.

geier commented 8 years ago

Please try reinstalling under python 3, we do not support python 2 since v0.8.
