Unicode error with non-ascii Infobox boxterm

[baerbock]

I would like to extract the infobox of the Bulgarian Railway Line No. 1 article.

import wptools
page = wptools.page('Железопътна линия 1 (България)', lang='bg')
page.get_parse()
page.data['ЖП линия']

which fails.

Are infoboxes not detected if they are named in an unsual manner (ЖП линия)?

Thanks for trying wptools @baerbock!

We should have support for this with boxterm=ЖП линия:

>>> help(wptools.page)
class WPToolsPage(wptools.restbase.WPToolsRESTBase, wptools.wikidata.WPToolsWiki
data, wptools.core.WPTools)

 |      WPToolsPage

 |      - [skip]: <list> skip actions in this list
 |      - [verbose]: <bool> verbose output to stderr if True
 ...

but that currently raises a UnicodeDecodeError in this case:

>>> page = wptools.page('Железопътна_линия_1_(България)', lang='bg', boxterm='ЖП линия')
>>> page.get()
bg.wikipedia.org (query) Железопътна_линия_1_(Б�...

    if title and boxterm in title:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I'll have to take a closer look at what's causing this.

Sorry for the delay here. Hope to get to this soon... 😃
