unicode problems

[beierman]

I'm having trouble writing the bibtex file (containing unicode) below. I assume the unicode characters fail to write because bibtexparser wants to write ascii, which would work if the unicode would be substituted by the respective latex string. So how do I enforce unicode-to-latex conversion? The correct conversion seems to be in latexenc.py: ("\u2009", "\\hspace{0.167em}"),, but it does not seem to get applied.

Thanks

This code

with open(outfile, 'w') as bibtex_file:
    bibtexparser.dump(bibdb, bibtex_file, writer=writer)

causes this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

    bibtex_file.write(bibtex_str)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2009' in position 76: ordinal not in range(128)

on this bibtex file

Not sure if this will be useful to anyone, but I was running into a similar issue and so manually encoded the string as utf8

with open(outfile,'w') as bibtex_file:
    bibtex_str = bibtexparser.dumps(bibdb)
    bibtex_file.write(bibtex_str.encode('utf8'))

And that worked without any issues.
