WebOb DeprecationWarning: You passed charset='iso-8859-1' to the Request constructor

[Tony Sullivan]

Hi all,

I'm getting this error on a freshly created tg2 on Linux Mint 12 (amd64)

DeprecationWarning: You passed charset='iso-8859-1' to the Request constructor. As of WebOb 1.2, if your application needs a non-UTF-8 request charset, please construct the request without a charset or with a charset of 'None', then use ``req = req.decode(charset)``

Steps to reproduce (following the install instructions)

1. Create new virtualenv
2. easy_install tg.devtools
3. fix missing file  (see ticket #111)
1. mkdir model_ming under <virtualenv>/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tg.devtools-2.1.3-py2.7.egg/devtools/commands
2. create session.py in the new directory
4. paster quickstart -ai testproject
5. cd testproject
6. python setup.py develop
7. paster setup-app development.ini
8. paster serve development.ini
9. visit app in browser
10. get error

Here is the full stack trace from the WebError page

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This shouldn't be appearing. I'm going to guess you're using distribute, instead of setuptools, right? If so, you're getting WebOb 1.2. I'm working on getting TG2 2.1.4 out the door, but this is a harder release than normal for me. Once it's done, though, WebOb will be locked down to a version that works. Until then, use this:

easy_install WebOb==1.0.8

And that DeprecationWarning should go away entirely.

Hi Michael,

You're right, it is using distribute - I think that's the default now with virtualenv.  It worked like a charm, thanks!
