zelda_pinwheel · 12-21-2008, 07:52 PM

i just tried to send a file to device and got this error message :

Code:

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe7' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 812, in sync_to_main_memory
  File "main.py", line 883, in sync_to_device
  File "c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 67, in write
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe7' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)

then i tried to view the file and got this error :

Code:

current_index
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\gui2\viewer\main.py", line 240, in

  File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\gui2\viewer\main.py", line 542, in next_document
AttributeError: current_index

what does that mean ?

Some unicode related issue with the file. Where's it from?

it's from a dictionary that i'm trying to convert from a mobi file... but i've just discovered another problem (the xhtml flow is too long) so i'm going to start over, i'll let you know if i still get the error on the new version.
