[Docutils-users] rst2odt can't handle images in python 3: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

that is a python3 problem not an encoding problem

i removed .decode('latin-1').encode('utf-8')

1. latin1 as input is an assumption
2. changing the name without the reference , might break things
3. decode/encode should happen in docutils.io (IMHO)

cheers

Hi,
I found an old reference for this problem in Debian's bug tracker [1], where
it was mentioned that a solution was introduced in 0.11-1. I have the same
problem on 0.12 and python 3.4. I have manually applied the changes that I
found in [2] and the problem is solved here. Is it possible that the fix was
applied by Debian and not upstream?
