Re: [Duplicity-talk] strange error when doing a backup

[Kenneth Loafman]

This is actually two levels of error.  The traceback is because Python can't decode the gpg error.  The real error is in gpg itself, but we can't see it because the decode error is triggering while trying to report the gpg error.

So, what is the encoding on your Mac?  You can find out what Python thinks it is by doing this

$ python2

Python 2.7.12 (default, Jun 29 2016, 14:05:02) 

[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import locale

>>> locale.getpreferredencoding()

'UTF-8'

That's the first level.  After we get that fixed, we'll see the gpg error message itself on the next run.

Any ideas as to how to fix this error would be appreciated.
