[ckan-dev] Modifying user's properties with code

[Rustam Mehmandarov]

Hi again,

While working on this code, I found a possible bug in CKAN when I
tried deleting users using "paster --plugin=ckan user delete" command.

To reproduce the bug do the following:

1. Create a user with an ID (which in my case was a user's full name)
that contains non-unicode caracters like Norwegian "æ", "ø", or "å".

2. Make sure that you can see something like the example below:
(pyenv) rm at mycomputer:$ paster --plugin=ckan user
Users:
name=Rustæm

3. Then try deleting the user with following command:
(pyenv) rm at mycomputer:$ paster --plugin=ckan user delete "Rustæm"

You should now get a python encoding error. I know that this is quite
rare case, but in our case it caused some trouble. Could you guys have
a look at this bug?

CKAN ver. 1.3.3.

Thanks a lot,
Rustam
