GAE not accepting anymore to upload binary file (jpg)

[Erwann Robin]

Hello kay users ! 

I have a strange issue with kay and GAE : since the latest GAE update, I can't upload non pure ascii files anymore.
everytime I run : "python manage.py appcfg update"
I get : "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)"

I patched "appcfg.py" to show in which file the error is located, and it clearly indicate that this error is located in a jpg file.

It appears first that some caracters of my code were not allowed anymore, even if it used to !

After I removed them all, I succeed to upload my python code to app engine ... but I can't upload any image : it keep complaining and it still complains it's not ASCII ! 

Is there something to set up in kay or app engine ?

I am stuck on this for days.

Where should I look ?

Hi Erwann,

Thanks for reporting. I'll look into this, but I think the easiest workaround is to use google_appengine/appcfg.py directly.

Can you try that?
