Hi,

I just ran into this issue and Google led me to debian bug #708252. The problem
likely was with a video file whose file name contained an Umlaut (ö).

I sudoedit-ed the patch[0] into my iotop installation to test it. The result
didn't look pretty:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position
137: ordinal not in range(128)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/iotop", line 17, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 616, in main
    main_loop()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 606, in <lambda>
    main_loop = lambda: run_iotop(options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 504, in run_iotop
    return curses.wrapper(run_iotop_window, options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/curses/wrapper.py", line 43, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 497, in 
run_iotop_window
    ui.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 155, in run
    self.process_list.duration)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 477, in 
refresh_display
    print_line(lines[i].encode('utf-8'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 473, in print_line
    self.win.addstr(i + len(summary) + 1, 0, lines[i])
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position
137: ordinal not in range(128)

Notice that there is a new call to print_line() from line 477. So this caught
the original UnicodeEncodeError and the print_line(lines[i].encode('utf-8'))
then caused the same error again.

Since there doesn't seem to be an easy test case for this yet, the following
triggers this problem reliably for me:

 $ dd if=/dev/zero of=öäü߀

Cheers,
Uli
