Interesting. @ztane How did you enforce Linux (Debian) locale to be UTF-8 before running a command?
Yeah, the problem is the definition of build_standard_input_sources:
@to_dict
def build_standard_input_sources(source_file_paths):
for file_path in source_file_paths:
with open(file_path) as source_file:
yield file_path, {'content': source_file.read()}
The open without explicit encoding defaults to the locale encoding. If your locale is not set correctly, Python 3.6 and below will default to ASCII. Python 3.7+ will default to using UTF-8 in any case.
You need to set a UTF-8 locale, any locale with UTF-8 charsets should do. Nowadays Linux should come with C.UTF-8 locale so that should do: export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8, and check the output of locale.
In any case, this is a bug in Populus (it should not depend on the locale setting at all), not the ico package
itself.
