[ovirt-users] Python-SDK4: Managing accents?
Hi,
We're running Python SDK (ovirt-engine-sdk-python) ver 4.1.4 and we're
having some issues getting values that contain accents. For example,
this snippet fails:
import ovirtsdk4 as sdk
import ovirtsdk4.types as types
# Create the connection to the server:
connection = sdk.Connection(
url='https://fqdn/ovirt-engine/api',
username='...',
password='...',
ca_file='...',
debug=True,
)
users_service = connection.system_service().users_service()
users = users_service.list()
connection.close()
This snippet fails in the "users = users_service.list()" line, because
one of the records have a tilde (ó).
The trace is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lista_users", line 23, in <module>
users = users_service.list()

cursor = xml.XmlReader(io.BytesIO(source.encode('utf-8')))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
1899: ordinal not in range(128)
Opening the source code (ovirtsdk4/reader.py) file and seeking the exact
line that fails I can see:
if isinstance(source, str):
cursor = xml.XmlReader(io.BytesIO(source.encode('utf-8')))
If I add a line just after the 'if' being "cursor =
cursor.decode('utf-8')", it seems to work, but I guess the source code
should handle this kind of situations.
Is this a known issue? Should I open a BZ? Any workaround meanwhile?
Thanks.
