Correct way to handle Hebrew filenames

zeff

Hello guys,

I am looking for a proper way to handle hebrew filenames with the Python API.

According to the documentation - Any string passed through your API should be normalized to UNICODE and encoded to UTF-8.

When using a command line with hebrew folders/filenames (Code page 862) some unexcpected things happens.

I use the following code to convert the characters from the command line to UTF-8 before passing it to the API:

normalize('NFC', string).encode('utf-8')

second parameter, string, is what I get from parsing the metadata from the DropboxClient instance.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Can you post some sample code, sample strings, and resulting output/any exceptions so we can take a look? Thanks in advance!
