UnicodeDecodeError if local args contains byte string about raygun4py HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Scott,

Thanks heaps for finding this one and the comprehensive report. I've managed to repro this locally and am working on a fix, will look at getting this out in a point release in the very near term.

So as it turns out, this appeared to most likely be a bug/unimplemented feature in jsonpickle. With the previous jsonpickle 0.7.0 dep, adding a unicode environment variable with a high code point such as ☼ (0xc2 0xa4) causes the test suite to throw the UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa4. I also previous repro'd your bytestring example on Windows where it threw the same error.

These look to be fixed by bumping jsonpickle to the latest v0.9.2, most likely due to including the fix at jsonpickle/jsonpickle#110. The end result is that large binary values such as the unicode sun and bytestrings appear in the Raygun payload as

"byteString": {
    "py/bytes": "=8D=80=92uK!M=ED"
}

Seems to be passing on travis, if you want to pull down the PR and run python setup.py install you would be able to confirm the fix, however as this appears to resolve an outstanding bug I'll look at getting this released later today if there's no objections.

Hi Callum,

Thanks a lot for taking a look into it. I won't be able to apply the PR until tomorrow, but glancing over it, it certainly seems promising. So feel free to go ahead and merge in it and cut the release. Should I run into any troubles with v3.0.2, I'll just submit a new issue!

Thanks again!

OK, I did manage to get this pulled down and applied. All looks good!
