[WikiEN-l] Pywikipedia bot : iso --> utf-8

Tue Jun 28 16:24:43 UTC 2005

Since the upgrade yesterday, my python bot code is no longer working
and halts with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise ValueError("code2encodings has wrong charset for %s. It
should be %s, but is %s"%(repr(self),charset, self.encoding()))
ValueError: code2encodings has wrong charset for wikipedia:en. It
should be utf-8, but is iso-8859-1

I know this is probably too technical for most of the people on this
list, but could some experienced bot owner help me back on track?
