6 Q1: [I hope this does not apply to current code, but just in case...]
7 I get segfault or some UnicodeEncodeError when working with some data from
8 phone, how can I avoid this?
10 A1: Most probably it is wxPython issue. It segfaults, when it gets non ASCII
11 character, that can not be converted to Unicode. This bug is reported -
12 #855297, you can check the bug status here:
13 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109863&aid=855297&group_id=9863
15 Workaround that helps in most situations is to enable setting default
16 charset in /usr/lib/pythonPYTHONVERSION/site.py (look for "Enable to
17 support locale aware default string encodings").
