Description

Hi,

Current time here is "mar. août 18 2015 15:42:04" ( given by datetime.datetime.now().strftime(u'%a %b %d %Y %H:%M:%S'.encode('utf-8')) )

When launching qgis, Processing fails to load in initGui, because it cannot convert this date string to UTF8 :
Impossible de charger l'extension processing provoque une erreur lors de l'appel de sa méthode initGui()

Traceback ( path edited)


Traceback (most recent call last):

Same error with 2.8.2 embedded Processing and Processing from plugin repository.
