Can't log into bugs.p.o with Github account due to non-ASCII character in name
asedeno opened this issue · 4 comments
When trying to log in, my name Alejandro R. Sedeño results in:
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf1' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)
That's not great. There's lots of good characters in Unicode besides what's in ASCII.
Also, u'\xf1' suggests bugs.p.o is still using python2? I'm told that's EOL.
Same here because of the é in my name

After being initially removed, 'u' prefix was added back to 3.x aid porting from 2.x. I believe it will be removed some time.
bpo is scheduled to be replaced rather than updated.

You can use u'string' in python 3.x since it was added back, sure, and that was a good move, but it is not used in the repr of str in py3. The u'\xf1' in the error message is a giveaway that bpo runs on py2.
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf1' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128) is how python2 says it.

Cool, maybe then I can log in and use it. :-)
