UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Before running blogofile build, set the language with
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (or export LANG=C)

[iuriguilherme]

@crayxt I have the same issue and the LANG envvar is properly set (in my case it's pt_BR.UTF-8).

[iuriguilherme]

Same issue of #136, #138, #141, #147 and #152

[crayxt]

@iuriguilherme I meant always set language to en_US.UTF-8 or C, sorry for being unclear

[iuriguilherme]

@crayxt I have got your point already.
Here is what I have:

$ export LANG=C; blogofile build

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/logging/__init__.py", line 799, in emit
    stream.write(fs % msg.encode("UTF-8"))

    src = open(post_path, "r").read().decode(
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 37-39: ordinal not in range(128)

Same result with

$ export LANG=C && blogofile build

[crayxt]

@iuriguilherme sorry for confusion. I have migrated to other static blog generator since then, cannot help.
