I'm using the PythonCaller to write lines into the log message.
I use logMessage String and with data that has mutated vowels I get following error message:
Python Exception <UnicodeEncodeError>: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\xfc' in position 67: ordinal not in range(128)
What can I do that I can write also data with ä,ü,ö to the log message?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Isabell,
I also often encounter such a situation. My environment is Japanese locale.
My workaround is to test whether the character string is a unicode instance or not, and to encode the string by the default encoding if it's unicode.
# Example
import fmeobjects
import locale
class FeatureProcessor(object):
def __init__(self):
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
self.enc = loc[1] # save the defualt encoding
self.logger = fmeobjects.FMELogFile()
def input(self, feature):
s = feature.getAttribute('attr')
if isinstance(s, unicode):
self.logger.logMessageString(s.encode(self.enc))
else:
self.logger.logMessageString(str(s))
def close(self):
passI'm not sure whether this workaround works fine in your locale.
Hope more suitable solution will be provided.

it's a bit tricky, because text attributes in FME are usual encoded as Unicode, where as the logMessageString() function seems to expect Latin1 encoding, for some unknown reason.
But try this:
log_text = feature.getAttribute("my_text").encode("latin1")
FMELogFile().logMessageString(log_text, fmeobjects.FME_WARN)
The important part is in bold. Please let us know if this works for you.

I like your more general approach. Thanks for sharing!

I tried Takashi's suggestion and it works fine!!!
Thank you both very much for your help!

Start your python script with the coding and for each variable you can add (@var).encode('utf-8')
