When library receives text in russian bot fails to resolve msg at (line 49 in dispatcher.py)

def _dispatch_msg_handler(self, category, msg): pass

with error:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 44-47: ordinal not in range(128)

Can you show the full traceback? I think we have unicode support covered in the tests https://github.com/lins05/slackbot/blob/b105feb22ef88d6950b6dbd6444d3518bea883bb/tests/functional/test_functional.py#L179-L188

@lins05 the following doesn't work:

@respond_to('привет', re.IGNORECASE)
def hello(message):
    message.react('wave')
