I have a bunch of Polish developer and sounds like they do like to use their own language, anything we can do about it ?

Thanks a lot

I think I have a fix -- but to test it I'm trying to create an AWS primative (security group or iam role or something) with ł in the name or description or policy. AWS won't let me create things that aren't ASCII.

Do you happen to know what technology this is character is being used in?

Ahh, An S3 bucket policy allows non-ASCII characters.

My test passed.

I'm going to merge in my fix to PolicyDiff.py. Could you see if that works for you?

[scriptsrc]

(My fix is fully described in #671.)
