The python3 bindings create unicode objects from application strings on the guest (i.e. installed rpm, deb packages). It is documented that rpm package fields such as description should be utf8 encoded - however in some cases they are not a valid unicode string, on SLES11 SP4 the following packages fail to be converted to unicode using guestfs_int_py_fromstring() (which invokes

Hi Sam, I was doing some work on the Python bindings, starting with removing support for Python 2 since it's EOL. I thought I would have a look at this patch. So firstly I think the last version posted is: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-April/msg00190.html My impression of this is that we shouldn't just hack the Python bindings to make this apparently work. But I

Hi Nir, I think latin1, How do you think we should handle latin1 errors then? Replace on latin1 or replace on utf-8? for codec in ["utf8", "latin1"]: try: return decode(b, codec) except: pass return decode(b, "utf8", errors="replace") (Pseudocode, will be implemented in c) On Thu, Apr 23, 2020, 21:34 Nir Soffer <nsoffer@redhat.com>

Hey Pino, Can you search for the previous patches I submitted? I had some discussions regarding this with Daniel and Nir. Thanks!
