Cannot delete fittings after UnicodeEncodeError

[rossos]

I attempted to copy/paste a fitting into Pyfa from a website that (apparently) used Unicode encoding. A placeholder for the fitting (correct ship and fitting name) was created, but the tab itself was blank: no components displayed, nor even the headers such as "--- High Slots ---", etc.

Trying to delete these 'empty' fittings fails quietly: clicking the red 'minus' icon has no effect, as the fitting and its empty tab remain.

On closing Pyfa, I am directed to pyfa.exe.log where a few hundred lines of errors are given. One example is:

On re-opening Pyfa I still cannot delete the bugged fittings, although I can create new ones and view other non-bugged ones just fine.

Can you link to where you got this fitting, or is it under a corp/alliance login? Are you using the wx3 release or the original release?

Also, please post the entire log here, or to Pastebin. I would like to see everywhere where these errors pop up.

I'm pretty sure this is simply because ('Fit: {}, {}'.format(self.ID, self.name), which tells us which fit we are calculating, does not accept unicode (which is probably in the fit's name). It would be an easy fix if this is the case, but again, I'd like to see the complete log.

I am pretty sure I've fixed this. The problem is that __repr__ expect a string, and we were trying to return unicode. The solution is a bit hackish, but I really didn't want to deal with python2's inicode stuff. It should work fine.

If you can test out the latest commit, feel free. Otherwise, this fix should be released next week. =)
