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

[Hoàng Tuấn Việt]

Hi Fabio,

 

I cannot see your reply in python-list until I search this question on Internet again.

 

I try (username.encode('utf-8') + '\r') and the problem is fixed.

 

Thank you very much.
