webilder-0.7.3

webilder_downlloader exits with an error on a non-ASCII character when retriveing content:

    print _("Skipping non-landscape photo '%s'") % photo['title']
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe0' in position 54: ordinal not in range(128)

Can something be done to fix this problem?

Over two years later and photographs can still not be downloaded from Flickr because the unicode issue is still to be fixed.

It appears that this project has been abandoned.
