Hi,

I have Odoo installed from github on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine. Odoo starts at boot with a script that I copied from the /debian/init file.

I built a custom module that reads file names from a directory on the server and lists them. I checked all possible unicode naming problems there, I hope.

My problem is that when I first boot the machine, log into Odoo and go to where my module should display file names I get an error "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)"

That character is a non ascii one.

The strange thing is that if I stop odoo and then restart it the problem goes away and file names get read correctly.

Any help?

Thanks,

Frank
