[GRASS-dev] python script utils encoding/decoding overriding unicode with python-future

[Moritz Lennert]

Pietro,

In r71394 [1] you changed the unicode handling in decode()/encode() in 
the python script library. However, this broke things on one of my 
machines [2] because I didn't have the python-future deb package 
installed, which is normally not supposed to be a compulsory dependency 
AFAIK.

Is the override of the definition of unicode really necessary ? If I 
comment the part of the code where you do the override, the errors I had 
go away (as they do if install python-future).

Moritz
