UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 149: ordinal not in range(128)

[oliver.joos@…]

I have Trac 1.2.2 on Python 2.7.9 (newest on Raspbian) and also the TracIniAdminPanelPlugin 1.0.2 (current trunk).

Installing MilnCheckboxPlugin on Admin-Plugins page worked as expected. But when I move to Admin-iniEditor page and try to open the section of miln-checkbox then a Traceback shows.

I guess this is caused by non-ascii chars in milncheckbox.py sourcecode. iniEditor seems to ignore -*- coding: utf-8 -*-. Since my other plugins do not have this problem, I solved it simply by replacing © on line 3 with (C) and the checkbox characters on lines 28, 42 and 45 with \uXXXX - see my attachment.

Feel free to merge my changes into your plugin!

Traceback in detail (current frame first!):
