Description
I've encountered an error when using the Geocoding plugin ver. 2.3 in QGIS ver. 1.8
If you specify an address containing a non-ascii character - one which returns several candidates - and choose one the candidates, You'll get an error:
"An error has occured while executing Python code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Bo Victor Thomsen/.qgis//python/plugins\\GeoCoding\\GeoCoding.py", line 233, in geocode
point = places[str(place_dlg.placesComboBox.currentText())]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\xc5' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Python version:
2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
QGIS version:
1.8.0-Lisboa Lisboa, 6416f38
"
The test-address was "Åbrinken"
After a little bit of Google - digging (I know absolutely zilch about Python) I changed the following codelines in GeoCoding.py:
233 point = places[str(place_dlg.placesComboBox.currentText())]
234 self.process_point(str(place_dlg.placesComboBox.currentText()), point)
to:
233 point = places[unicode(place_dlg.placesComboBox.currentText())]
234 self.process_point(unicode(place_dlg.placesComboBox.currentText()), point)
after which the error disappeared.
