Version: 2012c+dfsg-0.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The package can't load modern versions of tzdata: /usr/share/zoneinfo/iso3166.tab
explicitly explains that it's UTF-8, but the package assumes it's US-ASCII:
$ python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Jul 1 2015, 10:54:53)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pytz; pytz.country_names
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 172, in __repr__
return repr(dict(self.iteritems()))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 110, in iteritems
for k in self:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytz/__init__.py", line 300, in __iter__
self._fill()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytz/__init__.py", line 383, in _fill
line = line.decode('US-ASCII')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)
This breaks the build of wader 0.5.12.
