Hello,
I have been using a slightly modified version of the build system from
the beta.python.org subversion repository for one of my personal
sites. In my efforts, I noticed that the Unicode support isn't too
great... I tried to have a an accent or two in the title and
navigation bar, and I was greeted some not too friendly
UnicodeDecodeErrors.
I've attached a patch that addresses this issue. I tested building
beta.python.org with my patch applied, and it seemed to work fine. In
looking at the mailing list archives, I know that at least python.it
is also using this build code, so perhaps this will be of use to
others as well.
I would've liked to have went a different route (i.e. using the
codecs.open() function), but either the python email module is
terrible in the way it handles Unicode or there are some documents
that are not utf-8 encoded...
Hope this helps someone,
