I was testing plonecli by creating an addon.

I started with plonecli create addon src/collective.todo

➜ plonecli create addon src/collective.todo

RUN: mrbob bobtemplates.plone:addon -O src/collective.todo

Here When I was prompted for Author's name instead of entering anything I simply pressed enter and same for Author's email.

Now when I tried to build by doing plonecli build I got an error:

In the first traceback we can see that author='b'mzfr'', is causing a problem because b'mzfr' is actually treated as a string so an extra '' are added around that. This same problem is happening with the email.

This was fixed when I removed those extra quotes('') from the name and email i.e

author='b'mzfr'' changes to `author=b'mzfr' and
author='b'mehtab.zafar98@gmail.com'' changes to author=b'mehtab.zafar98@gmail.com'

@MrTango this is due to codecs library which is adding b'' in Python3. https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#codecs.open And not in Python2.

@kakshay21 Can I work on this issue?

[kakshay21]

Sure but see that you don't break anything in py2.7
