Subject: grass-gui: gcpmanager fails to list source mapsets if non-ascii
characters
in grass data dir path
Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:35:48 +0300
Package: grass-gui
Version: 6.4.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
Using the wxpython GUI Georectify tool is impossible if the path to the
grass
data directory (e.g. GRASSDATA) contains non ascii characters (e.g.
'/home/user/Työpöytä/GRASSDATA'). Selecting the source location works, but
the 'Select source mapset:' dropdown menu remains greyed out. The command
console shows the following error message, after selecting the source
location:
***
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/gcpmanager.py",
line 377, in OnLocation
tmplist = os.listdir(os.path.join(self.grassdatabase,
self.xylocation))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 71, in join
path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError
:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 15: ordinal
not in range(128)
***
Changing the grass data directory path to only contain ascii characters
(e.g.
'/home/user/GRASSDATA') makes the Georectify tool usable. This seems to an
issue with how the python code handles path names and unicode characters.
Cheers,
Torsti
