Trying to decode ascii instead of unicode

[iuriguilherme]

I had blogofile running on debian wheezy with python3.2 and now had to move the files into debian squeeze running python2.6. That was when the latin characters started to become a problem.

Here is the trace i get when trying to build the site, more especifically, when it tries to make a permalink:

The standard out:

Traceback (most recent call last):

And the tail from the standard error (with blogofile -vv build):

I have already tried removing the latin characters from categories, titles, etc.
Have also changed the accents to html escapes, with no luck.

Reverted to Mako-0.7.2-py2.6 and Unidecode-0.04.9-py2.6 and the song remains the same.

[iuriguilherme]

The only circumstance in which it does compile is when there are no posts.

[iuriguilherme]

Duplicate of #136, #138, #141, #147, and #148

[iuriguilherme]

Tried to change _config.py like suggested to:

def pre_build():
  import locale
  locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')

Also downgraded to 0.7.1
The problem remains the same, even with 0.7.1

As I removed all offending characters from _config.py (on blog.name, blog.description, etc.), seems that in some post came up this new message:
