Hi Martin,

thanks a lot for sharing your solution and for taking the time to detail the reasoning behind it.

In our next release of Agilo for Trac we will include a fix, and your contribution will surely help.

Cheers

While using Agilo 0.9.12 with a german locale (de_DE.utf8) we noticed Genshi throwing a UnicodeDecodeError in 'agilo/scrum/backlog/templates/agilo_backlog.htm' on line 65.
The problem seems to be that datetime.strftime() is used, which will return strings always in the encoding of the current locale, which then in turn confuses genshi, which seems to expect either ascii or unicode strings, but nothing else.

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.utf8')

'de_DE.utf8'

import datetime
d = datetime.datetime.now()
d.strftime("%a %B %d")

'Mi M\xc3\xa4rz 12'

print d.strftime("%a %B %d").decode('utf8')

Mi März 12

import locale
locale.getlocale()

('de_DE', 'UTF8')

locale.getlocale()[1]

'UTF8'

d.strftime("%a %B %d").decode(locale.getlocale()[1])

u'Mi M\xe4rz 12'
Patching line 65 of 'agilo/scrum/backlog/templates/agilo_backlog.htm' with this

<span class="sprint-dates" py:if="backlog.is_sprint_backlog()">${backlog.sprint().start.strftime("%a %B %d").decode('utf8')} <span id="sprint-dates-arrow"></span> ${backlog.sprint().end.strftime("%a %B %d").decode('utf8')}</span>
Seems to be a workaround for us for this issue.
Regards,
Martin Häcker
