Non ascii character in glyph name or lib

[typoman]

I get this error when a glyph name has a non ASCII character or the glyph lib has a key with string with a non ASCII character.

Normalizing "Untitled.ufo".
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 124, in XML
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0634' in position 383: ordinal not in range(128)

The glyph contents for non ASCII string.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<glyph name="space" format="2">
    <unicode hex="0020"/>
    <advance width="500"/>
    <outline>
        <contour>
            <point x="134" y="235" type="line"/>
        </contour>
    </outline>
    <lib>
        <dict>
            <key>test</key>
            <string>ش</string>
        </dict>
    </lib>
</glyph>

I also saved the file in UTF-8 encoding. Am I mistaken or this should be allowed in UFO according to the spec?

Can you try with Python 3?

Yes, it worked! I had to uninstall and reinstall it. Thank you Just!
