[ckan-dev] Create resource with french accents

Fri Oct 16 08:24:31 UTC 2015

Hello,
I am trying to create a resource with filename containg french accents via
API. The resource is created, but the file is not uploaded. I reproduced
the same behaviour local and I couldn't find a solution.
For example, I used http://master.ckan.org/dataset/asdgadsgadsgas and you
can see that the resource is created:
http://master.ckan.org/dataset/asdgadsgadsgas/resource/4d8f2f38-07a9-479d-a557-880ace834016
but when trying to download I am getting a 404 error:
http://master.ckan.org/dataset/8da7d905-2c3f-4faa-89b1-3635a9d06e73/resource/4d8f2f38-07a9-479d-a557-880ace834016/download/testfrenchaccentseies.zip

The script I am trying to run is a simple one:

# coding=UTF-8
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests
import os
url = 'http://master.ckan.org/api/3/action/resource_create'
api_key = '27eb9769-eef3-4267-aaf1-be7038194732'

h_dict={'X-CKAN-API-Key': api_key}

data_dict = {}
#other settings for resource
data_dict['name'] = u'Test_french_accents_éiés.zip'
data_dict['url'] = data_dict['name']
path = u'/mypath/Test_french_accents_éiés.zip'

resource_file = os.path.join(path)
files = {'upload': open(resource_file, 'rb')}
r = requests.post(url, data=data_dict, headers=h_dict, files=files,
verify=False)

What should I do to be able to make it work? :)

Thanks,
