[New-bugs-announce] [issue22746] cgitb html: wrong encoding for utf-8

[Wolfgang Rohdewald]

New submission from Wolfgang Rohdewald:

The attached script shows the non-ascii characters wrong wherever they occur, including the exception message and the comment in the source code.

Looking at the produced .html, I can say that cgitb simply passes the single byte utf-8 codes without encoding them as needed.

Same happens with Python3.4 (after applying some quick and dirty changes to cgitb.py, see bug #22745).
