Although accented characters are displayed correctly from the command line, mutt does not appear to handle them well. This bug was submitted via e-mail by Ronaldo Vasconcellos. Here is his message in full:

Hello Andrew.

Just a feedback from a Brazilian user.

The script works like a charm for me, except when my contact has accents on its
name (which are common in Brazilian portuguese). The error happens only inside
mutt, not when run from the terminal.

To: fabioTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/icloud-addressbook-query.py", line 55, in
main()
File "/usr/local/bin/icloud-addressbook-query.py", line 52, in main

print "\t".join([row[0], fn])
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe1' in positi
on 25: ordinal not in range(128)

Outside mutt it works:

$ /usr/local/bin/icloud-addressbook-query.py fabio

fabio3@example Fábio XXX

Any clue of what's going on here? Seems like a character encoding issue.

My terminal setup is slightly different from usual. I'm using iTerm
(http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/home) and Fish (http://fishshell.com/) shell.

Cheers,
Ron

Hello Andrew,

I'm encountering the following error when retrieving a particular contact.

The contact's email address has a hyphen (-) in it; do you think that would cause the problem? Other contacts can be searched without issue.

icloud-addressbook-query $ python icloud-addressbook-query.py Jeff
1 matching addresses...

Thanks for this useful utility. I've been happily using it for the past year or so.
