[ovirt-devel] Why filetransaction needs to encode the content to utf-8?

Hi Nir and all, In [1] you added line 151, to encode the contents to utf-8. Do you remember why you needed that? What happens if I remove this line? I am working on [2]. It fails on that line, because the current content, if organization name is unicode, has a UTF-8 encoded string already, but is a python str (not unicode). Tried patching otopi [3], did a few attempts (some of them also pushed there, check the different patchsets), but none worked. So I am going to patch postinstall file generation instead [4], but I don't like this. Any hints are welcome. Thanks and best regards, [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/92435/1/src/otopi/filetransaction.py [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1729511 [3] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/102085 [4] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/102089 -- Didi
