[Qgis-developer] QgsRasterLayer.identify() returns wrongly encoded keys?

[Borys Jurgiel]

Hi List,

The QgsRasterLayer.identify()[1] returns such dict in Python:

{bandName:value, bandName:value, ...}

where bandName is created in line 1792 and 1836 of qgsrasterlayer.cpp:

      theResults[tr( "Band" ) + QString::number( i )] = v

In Polish locale "Band" is translated to "Kanał", what contains non-ascii 
character. And this character seems to be wrongly encoded. If I load a raster 
layer and call from Python console, say:

      sample = iface.activeLayer().identify(QgsPoint(0,0))[1]

the 'sample' contains the mentioned dictionary. Then if I try to print the 
first key, which should contain QString 'Kanał 1':

      print sample.keys()[0]

I give the error message:

exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0142' 
in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

So the string is not properly unicoded. But I can't find any error, neither in 
qgsrasterlayer.cpp nor in qgsrasterlayer.sip file. It's passed from tr() 
directly to QgsRasterLayer::identify() header. Probably I'm missing something 
obvious.
