When I enter a new female user and associate a password containing
specific french caracters like éèçàù, the application starts, but cannot be
exited normally: the cycle window remains on the KDE desktop.
The only way to exit is to kill the cycle application roughly.

The same user name with an another password causes the application to work
normally.

This bug is reproductible.

You will find below the crash log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cycle", line 86, in OnCloseWindow
    Save_Cycle(cycle.name, cycle.passwd, cycle.file)
  File "/usr/share/cycle/save_load.py", line 27, in Save_Cycle
    m.update(passwd)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Hi Damien,

Thanks for adding more info about this problem. But i'm sad to tell you
cycle's upstream author does not seem very active and i have not found myself time to
fix this issue.

Hi Oleg,

you might know that cycle is packaged for Debian.  Over time it gathered
some bug reports which are open for a long time without proper
attention.  Here you can find a summary over all those bugs:

https://bugs.debian.org/src:cycle

I'm not sure whether you keep on working on cycle but I simply want to
make sure that those issues are not escaping your attention.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining cycle as free software

      Andreas.
