hello world on windows

[mouadhkaabachi]

on windows, I tried to run the server with command

slicer serve slicer.ini

I got the following error

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 22: ordinal not in range(128)

on linux, it works

Can't reproduce it as I don't have a windows machine. This seems to be offending code:

from dateutil.tz import tzlocal
from datetime import datetime

_ = datetime.now(tzlocal()).tzname()

What happens when you try this in isolation?

Also, what version of Python are you using?

Few more questions: what version of dateutil are you using?

Just found this in the dateutil documentation:

If you need dateutil for Python 2.X, please continue using the 1.X series.

I'm using python 2.7
dateutil 2.6
I tried with dateutil 1.5 and it works, but i got another problem with
slicer serve slicer.ini

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x90' in file C:\Users\Mouadh\envs\cubes\Scripts\slicer.exe on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://
python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

the problem is that
datetime.now(tzlocal()).tzname() return Paris, Madrid (heure d��t�)
Normally, it must return Paris, Madrid (heure d'été) and can be used in other classes
(encoding french characters)
'heure d'été' ==> 'summer time'

This looks like some Python 2.x + Windows + Unicode combination issue. I would recommend to to some research on that side or maybe try to switch to Python 3 to see what are the results.

Closing this as this does not seems to be Cubes related problem.
