I have this code
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
__author__ = 'user'
import gdata.youtube.service
yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()
query = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeVideoQuery()
query.vq = u"не"
feed = yt_service.YouTubeQuery(query)
for yt_item in feed.entry:
print yt_item.GetSwfUrl()
And I am getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

How do I search for non-ASCII. Do I need to url encode the query? I thought the library will do that on its own.
Change to:
query.vq = u"не".encode('utf8')
The string needs to be encoded before being sent.
