Non ASCII characters causes exception about python-twitter HOT 6 CLOSED

check in which coding it's your output, but i added there this data =
simplejson.loads(json, 'iso8859-1') (because of default web server output). 
Reason
is, that you're not sending any of standard browser user-agent. if you'll send 
for
example mozilla, then your output will be in utf-8. use chardet for 
identifiacion

you're right to suspect what the encoding is, its quite strange the output of 
chardet
first of all i m on a Leopard machine with all installed in english

now if I input abc just before PostUpdate i get this

abc
{'confidence': 1.0, 'encoding': 'ascii'}

if i input abcñ, i get this encoding

abcñ
{'confidence': 0.98999999999999999, 'encoding': 'EUC-JP'}
will investigate to see why this change is ocurring

Forgot to state that this input is coming from std in, caught this way :

sys.stdin.readline()

Ok, forget it, no issue, just set up third parameter in constructor and you're 
set.

sorry bout it.

rewrote the function and saw that there was a problem with that aprameter, and 
then finally saw i had to specify 
it.
sorry bout that, thanks for the lib, works great.

Thanks for following up, cromestant.  I'm marking this Invalid but please feel 
free
to reopen if there are further related issues.
