error trying to create new blueprint

[frankie gravato]

I'm trying to create a working blueprint for a server i have in aws using --sh feature and --relaxed 

blueprint-show mongodb --sh --relaxed

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/blueprint-show", line 63, in <module>

    filename = getattr(b, options.generate)(options.relaxed).dumpf()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/blueprint/frontend/sh.py", line 330, in dumpf

    f.write('{0}\n'.format(out))

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 4994: ordinal not in range(128)

any idea how i can resolve this?

I'm sorry for the incredibly delayed response, Frankie.

This is a crummy error message so I opened
<https://github.com/devstructure/blueprint/issues/129> to address it
in the future.

There's some file that has Latin-1 characters in it which aren't
playing nicely with Blueprint's JSON format. If you have a
Unicode-aware terminal you may be able to grep for
<http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2013/index.htm> to find
the offending file.
