Error while compiling templates when deploying to GAE

[victorgoh]

Hi,

Is this a problem which I can fix or something related to the kay
framework?

macbook:theokayblog victorgoh$ python manage.py appcfg -v update

Hi victorgoh,

It seems that your template uses codec other than utf-8. Can you use utf-8?

It was the .DS_Store files that was causing the error.
Since I have image files inside my template folder, it looks like I
will have to move them to a media folder. I was hoping to keep
templates and their associated static files (css, js and images) in
subfolders in the template folder.

Hi ! 

I seem to have a similar problem than victorgoh a few year ago : 

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

when I update the remote service. 

( the full log is on stackoverflow : 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14971021/google-app-engine-not-accepting-binary-file-upload-anymore ) 

it starts happening after a google appengine update, so I was confused.

Do you have any ideas to the files I should look to ? 

Cheers !
