UnicodeDecodeError

[Turbo-Tuning]

I get a similar error message with all a2l files I have tested. What am I doing wrong?

$ python3 a2l2xdf.py sa.a2l a2l2xdf.csv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "a2l2xdf.py", line 15, in <module>
    db.open_existing(argv[1]) if path.exists(f"{argv[1]}db") else db.import_a2l(argv[1])

  File "/home/chris/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pya2l/preprocessor.py", line 160, in process

This is a bug in the upstream pya2l library which I need to file and try to have resolved. Replacing all non ASCII characters with ASCII in the A2L using a text editor will help for now. Next you’ll probably have issues with another pya2l bug involving name fields and //=, recommend replacing all instances of //= with blanks. And then you’ll probably be able to get an a2ldb generated.
