[IPython-dev] Error in test_unicode for InputSplitter

[Brian Granger]

I am seeing the following on Python 2.6, Mac OS X 10.5:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_unicode
(IPython.core.tests.test_inputsplitter.InputSplitterTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return ''.join(buffer).encode(self.encoding)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
2: ordinal not in range(128)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 270 tests in 1.974s

Is this a regression or a known issue?

Cheers,

Brian
