#2875: Python testsuite failing with UnicodeDecodeError
--------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  marisn  |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal  |  Milestone:  7.1.0
Component:  Tests   |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:          |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Linux   |
--------------------+-------------------------
 Unfortunately it is not possible to run tests as test suite is failing
 itself (has anyone written tests for test suite?):

 {{{

 }}}

 The largest question is - should there be strings for translation at all?
 I think not as most of low level errors and debug information is not
 marked for translation. Tests should be run by developers not end users
 thus I don't see a point in translating such strings.
