UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

[rrolla]

Hi, seems it cannot parse unicode values
example
.env file

SHARE_ENDPOINTS="'Bibliotēka', 'Reģistrētie dokumenti'"

settings.py file

#!/usr/bin/env python2

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv
load_dotenv(find_dotenv())

SHARE_ENDPOINTS = os.getenv("SHARE_ENDPOINTS")
print(SHARE_ENDPOINTS)

Error traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0113' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

Is there some options to get this working?
Thanks.

I could confirm this bug when investigating #176 and it's actually not fixed by #144. I'll look into it.
