#63 error in latex2e writer

[Berthold Höllmann]

Trying to use the latex2e writer I get:

docutils_encoding is a unicode string for me using the last
docutils snapshot. The translate method behaves different on
unicode objects. I fixed the problem for me by replacing
"translate" by calling "replace twice".

Kind Regards
Berthold

I'm not sure why you need docutils_encoding to be a
unicode string, but I see no problems with fixing this
using the supplied patch. (From the python docs: "For
Unicode objects, the translate() method does not accept
the optional deletechars argument.")

So +1 for applying the patch in hoel's follow-up message.

(note to hoel -- it's generally better to include patches
as attachments, rather than pasting them inline to your
comment.. sourceforge can munge your pasted patch by line-
wrapping it, etc.)

Fixed; thanks for the bug report.
