====== Python locale problem ======
If you get this error or smth similar:
''
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u010c' in position 61: ordinal not in range(128)''

Make sure the server has the locale set up correctly, usually it is enough to uncomment (en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and/or hr_HR.UTF-8 UTF-8):

  vi /etc/locale.gen

Then run

  locale-gen
  locale

To verify what python sees enter python3 prompt:

  python3
  import sys
  print(sys.getfilesystemencoding())

Should print "utf-8" not "ascii".
