i18nextract doesn't handle utf-8

[Sebastian Ware]

When I use bin/i18nextract to extract my pagetemplate i18n strings it  
turns:

   "Band söker musiker"

into:

   "Band s\303\266ker musiker"

the pagetemplate is stored with utf-8 encoding. Am I doing anything  
obviously wrong, or is this a bug?

As far as I know it is best to keep your msgids pure ascii.

Or is your msgid something like label_band_soker_musiker (pure ascii)
and has the Default value that i18nextract puts in the pot/po files as
assistence got those escaped values?

Can you post a snippet of the generated pot file?

Hm, confirmed, I get similar results:

#: src/barebonesblog/app_templates/index.pt:6
#. Default: "C\303\266ngr\303\241t\303\274lati\303\263ns!"
msgid "head_congrats"
msgstr ""

However, when I use i18ndude (which has the same origins as
i18nextract I think) it works fine:

#. Default: "Ädd réspönse"
#: ../browser/response.pt:80
msgid "title_add_response"
msgstr ""

Usually I either just keep everything in English (so ascii) and do
translations, or directly use the target language of the client (Dutch
in my case) in the templates and python files.
