[OWSLib-users] OWSLib UnicodeEncodeError with accents

[Sophie Mollard]

Hi list,

I'm using owslib to insert metadata files into GeoNetwork with a python 
2.7 script. It works fine except with metadatas which contain accents.

      csw.transaction(ttype='insert', typename='gmd:MD_Metadata',
    record=open('Haies_Franche_Comte_metadata.xml').read())

    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 432, in
    transaction
         self._invoke()
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 635,
    in _invoke
         self.response = util.http_post(xml_post_url, self.request,
    self.lang, self.timeout, self.username, self.password)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/util.py", line 372,
    in http_post
         up = urllib2.urlopen(r,timeout=timeout);
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen
         return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 431, in open
         response = self._open(req, data)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 449, in _open
         '_open', req)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain
         result = func(*args)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1227, in http_open
         return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1194, in do_open
    h.request(req.get_method(), req.get_selector(), req.data, headers)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1001, in request
    self._send_request(method, url, body, headers)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1035, in _send_request
    self.endheaders(body)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 997, in endheaders
    self._send_output(message_body)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 854, in _send_output
    self.send(message_body)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 826, in send
    self.sock.sendall(data)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
         return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
    UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
    position 1952: ordinal not in range(128)

I've written at the beginning of the script :

    !/usr/bin/python
    # -*-coding:Utf-8 -*

My metadata file is in utf-8 too :

    georchestra-ouvert at georchestra-dev:~/bin/lib$ file -i
    Haies_Franche_Comte_metadata.xml
    Haies_Franche_Comte_metadata.xml: text/plain; charset=utf-8

However, my python environement is :

    print sys.getdefaultencoding()
    ascii

I've tried to change it in utf-8 but then, I've obtained this error with 
owslib :

    csw.transaction(ttype='insert', typename='gmd:MD_Metadata',
    record=open('Haies_Franche_Comte_metadata.xml').read())
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 432,
    in transaction
         self._invoke()
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 635,
    in _invoke
         self.response = util.http_post(xml_post_url, self.request,
    self.lang, self.timeout, self.username, self.password)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/util.py", line 372,
    in http_post
         up = urllib2.urlopen(r,timeout=timeout);
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen
         return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open
         response = meth(req, response)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response
         'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 475, in error
         return self._call_chain(*args)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain
         result = func(*args)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 558, in http_error_default
         raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
    urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Erreur Interne de Servlet

What am I doing wrong ? Have you any idea ?

Thank you in advance,
