[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] get-developers: explicitly set devs document encoding

[Yann E. MORIN]

James, All,

On 2018-03-06 02:39 +0000, James Knight spake thusly:
> Explicitly indicate the file encoding (to UTF-8) for the DEVELOPERS
> document. This prevents Unicode decoding errors where some systems
> assume an alternative default encoding (ex. 'CP1252').
> 
> This corrects the following observed error:
> 
>     $ ./utils/get-developers outgoing/*
>     Traceback (most recent call last):
>       File "./utils/get-developers", line 101, in <module>
>         __main__()
>       File "./utils/get-developers", line 25, in __main__
>         devs = getdeveloperlib.parse_developers()
>       File "...\buildroot\utils\getdeveloperlib.py", line 164, in parse_developers
>         for line in f:
>       File "...\Python36\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
>         return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
>     UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 7087: character maps to <undefined>

This does not work with oython2:

    $ python2
    Python 2.7.14 (default, Sep 23 2017, 22:06:14)
    [GCC 7.2.0] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> with open("DEVELOPPERS", "r", encoding="utf8") as f:
    ...     lines= f.readlines()
    ...
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

Recentyl, we had to do a similar encoding/decoding issue:

    5563a1c6a4 support/check-uniq-files: support weird locales and filenames

Do you think you could have a look at it and do a similar tweak to
get-developper instead, please?
