     Priority:  normal     |    Version:  1.10.0
    Component:  code-      |   Keywords:  cli error unicode utf-8 unix easy

Launchpad Bug:             |
---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Changes (by daira):

 * keywords:  cli error unicode unix easy => cli error unicode utf-8 unix
               easy


Comment:

 Perhaps if the filesystem and/or I/O encodings are ASCII, we should just
 ignore that and assume UTF-8? (See `canonical_encoding` in
 [source:src/allmydata/util/encodingutil.py]; the change needed is
 obvious.)
