UnicodeDecodeError about furl HOT 4 CLOSED

Great find. I'll fix this shortly.

Do note, however, that URLs can't contain unicode, as per RFC 1738.

Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
unencoded within a URL.

However, it's furl's duty to do 'the right thing' and coerce a unicode input URL to its encoded ascii form.

This is fixed in furl v0.3.9.

>>> f = furl(u'http://www.example.org/?kødpålæg=42')
>>> f.url
'http://www.example.org/?k%C3%B8dp%C3%A5l%C3%A6g=42'

Update to v0.3.9 with

pip install furl --upgrade

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention @chrj.

Thank you for the quick response.

We are using furl as a tool for both sanitizing as well as manipulating of user supplied URLs, which is why we sometimes deal with unescaped special characters.

Wonderful to hear.

Don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
