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

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hmmm, was Python installed from macports or homebrew?  Mine came from homebrew and defaults to 'UTF-8'.  That could be the problem.  I'm kinda new to the Mac ecosystem, so maybe someone could jump in.

Another thing to check is the "Terminal / Preferences / Advanced / Text encoding" setting.  Mine is set to UTF-8 and the "Set locale... " box is checked.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
