Problem on startup of 2.3

[gamebitt]

I uninstalled the previous version of Mnemosyne and then installed version 2.3. When i tried to launch it i got these error messages:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "menmosyne", line 31, in <module>
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\_init_.pyo", line 10, in <module>
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\utils.pyo" line 282, in <module>

File "mimetypes.pyo", line 249, in enum_types
UnicodeDecodeError
:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xbf in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

I tried cleaning the registry and many other solutions, but nothing works.
I am using Windows 7 x64. It works when running at the computer with Win7 32bit but I tried it also on my laptop (x64) and the problem is the same. The previous version works fine. What should I do. Sorry for my rusty English.

Hi,

This is a long-standing bug in Python involving non-latin keys in the Windows registry:

http://bugs.python.org/issue9291

For a workaround, see here:

Good luck!

Peter

This workaround didn't work for me. I tried cleaning the registry, changing the network name of my computer -- nothing worked.

Hi,

Since this is a bug in Python that seems to affect only Russian systems I'm not sure I can do anything about it.

What I could propose as workaround, if you don't need this machine to be a sync server, is to disable that option. However, since this issue prevents you from reaching the configuration screen, I would delete C:\users\pete\appdata\roaming\mnemosyne\config and try again.

Good luck!

Peter

Hello Peter,

this bug doesn't only affect Russian systems, my system (Windows 8 x64) language is English, and the non-Unicode Language is Chinese, I also met this problem.
In addition, I tried to delete the config file, nothing happens, please help, thanks.

Try this version, it will make sure that cherrypy is not imported if the sync server is not running:

This version works perfect, have been used for more than three years, it's great to know it is still improving, thank you very much!
