Plugin doesn't support non-english characters

[Erik]

I've tried to enble this plugin but it breaks my trac installation. The reason for this seems to be that some of my field-values have swedish letters in them.

Is it possible to extend the functionality of the plugin to support non-english characters in field-values and field names?

I faced the same problem. If a Ticket-Type has a non english character, the plugin breaks the entire TRAC-Environment.

Confirmed here, all ticket types rather than ascii break trac installation with python error

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/TracCondFields-3.0dev-py2.7.egg/condfields/web_ui.py", line 41, in __init__
    setattr(self.__class__, '%s_fields' % t, hidden_fields)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-5: ordinal not in range(128)

The problem with setattr is that Python 2.* does not allow unicode glyphs for identifier names. In Python 3.2 this will work.

As a workaround you can convert identifiers to ascii using unidecode and keep track of the original name.
