Description
I'm trying to use a unicode string as a marker in both python 2 and 3. In python 3 this works fine, but in python 2 I get the following error (Full trace at the end):
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-24: ordinal not in range(128)
Using encode('utf-8') on this marker results in the error: AssertionError: Markers are required to be 1 char
The trace shows that the string, which is already unicode, is being encoded into unicode again. Perhaps this is superfluous?
Should I call bar in a different way?
Code
import progressbar
from progressbar import Bar
widgets = [Bar(marker=u'\u2588')]
progress_bar = progressbar.ProgressBar(
max_value=10, widgets=widgets)
progress_bar.start()
