I guess the title is cutted by mw and not the slice operator since it works correct for unicode strings. len\(\) also gives the number of characters not the number bytes. Do we have any size\(object\) method?

an idea for getFilename \(could anybody test it whether it works\)

if not title:
\#find the max length for a mw title
maxBytes = 240 - len\(project.encode\('utf-8'\)\) \
\- len\(username.encode\('utf-8'\)\)
description = photoInfo.find\('photo'\).find\('description'\).text
if description:
descBytes = len\(description.encode\('utf-8'\)\)
if descBytes > maxBytes:
\# maybe we cut more than needed, anyway we do it
items = max\(0, len\(description\) - maxBytes + descBytes\)
description = description\[:items\]
title = cleanUpTitle\(description\)
else:
title = u''
\# Should probably have the id of the photo as last resort.

Where are the html entities from? Are they part of the flickr page?

those are the thai parts of the page title that are being converted when the exception is being thrown

I do not see a conversion by the exception. I converted the title from html entities to unicode in my last commit

Line 787 doesnt return the title, it returns the whole page \(self\) when you print the object and not the title it gets converted there. I used a log to confirm that the title was UTF-8 before filling this bug,

Thanks for testing. The lenght calculation was wrong. I've corrected it
