[Straw-devel] Exception when downloading feeds

[Ross Burton]

Hi,

When I try and read most feeds (slashdot for example), I get this error
message from Straw 0.23:

LookupError: unknown encoding: en_US.ISO8859-1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/MainWindow.py", line 336, in item_selection_changed
    self.display_item(item)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/MainWindow.py", line 363, in display_item
    straw.main.display_item(item)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/Main.py", line 188, in display_item
    straw.main_window.display_item(item)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/MainWindow.py", line 1416, in display_item
    self._item_view.display_item(item)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/MainWindow.py", line 101, in display_item
    html = (
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/MainWindow.py", line 145, in htmlify_item
    self._date_format, self._encoding)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/utils.py", line 144, in format_date
    return unicode(timestr, encoding)

Whilst I'm writing, I may as well mention:

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:83:
GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.mainquit is deprecated, use gtk.main_quit
instead

And that I think "Desktop" should be removed from the .desktop file.

Hm, actually, this needs to be applied to the .desktop.in file too:

-Categories=GNOME;Application;Internet;
+Categories=GNOME;Application;Network;

Cheers,
Ross
