UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

[d6y]

Hello! Thanks for this tool. I just tried it and encountered a few problems. The 500 errors are a bit of an issue, but the last one gave a message I thought might be useful.... (keys and secrets omitted).

openphoto-import (master)$ python import.py --host=d6y.openphoto.me --consumer-key=xx --consumer-secret=xx --token=xx --token-secret=xx

Here's an example of one of the 500:

This is an issue being tracked here openphoto/openphoto-python#7. Will keep this open as a tracking issue.

@d6y: can you please confirm that this is working now?

The openphoto-python library has been renamed to "trovebox", so you'll need to install this first:

   sudo pip install trovebox

See the updated readme for more details.

Bare with me: I'll need to set up a new account and try out an import. May take a few days. (The importer in Trovebox imported my Flickr photos without problem some time ago).
