[Python-apps-team] Bug#489781: mayavi2: Mayavi2 cannot open files on UTF-8 paths with accents

[Ivan Marin]

Package: mayavi2
Version: 2.1.1-5
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

Hello,

I've submitted a bug some time ago (bug 466711) about some problems that
mayavi2 has when opening a file on a UTF-8 file system. Now I've
discovered that the problem is on the path to the file, and not in the
file itself. For example, this path works:

/home/user/visu

and this doesn't:

/home/user/visualização

(note the cedilla and the tilde). The error reported is the same that of
bug 466771.

I can provide further information if needed.

Thank you!
