Redirection error

[Jostein Berntsen]

If I try to a redirect from n.py this error occurs:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf8' in position 44: ordinal not in range(128)

Should it be like this? Is there an export option for output?

Try setting the environmental variable PYTHONIOENCODING to utf_8. I
have the following in my ~/.bash_profile:

export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf_8

The problem seems to be that python can determine the encoding when
printing to the terminal but gets confused when the output is
redirected.

There is an option to export selected notes in the gui but not
currently in the command line version though it could be added.

That worked great, thanks.
