[Mailman-Users] problem with locale settings and command line interface

[mailman]

Hi,

I've mailing lists with some members using non ASCII characters in there 
names, like "Franz Müller ".


Mailman 2.1.29 is installed. When I run "list_members -f mylist" I get 
question marks in the output. My locale settings:


LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

What can I do to get the names in UTF-8?

Thanks

Torsten

Assuming Mailman has actually stored the names properly, i.e. they show
correctly in the web admin membership list and/or when you see them in
the output of Mailman's bin/dumpdb of the list's config.pck, the issue
is that list_members encodes them in the character set returned by
python's sys.getdefaultencoding() which is probably ascii. To fix this,
you would add a call to

sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

to your Python library site module. See
