[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD via API - character problem

[Kennedy, Nancy]

By directly, I mean when logged into the staff interface and use the Export menu option.  This results in the correct character, but not if I try via the API, against the same instance.

Can you be more precise about what “directly from the archivesspace” means?  What page (URL) and control on the page you’re using to generate this?  I want to make sure it’s the same code path in both cases.

Also, when you say “locally,” do you just mean the script is running locally against the same ASpace instance, or is it a different ASpace instance from the one where you’re getting correct results?

Hi all –
Today I noticed that if I export an EAD with “Yin-Hsü” directly from the archivesspace, my EAD results carry through with the correct encoding.

But, when I export locally via the API, I end up with “Yin-Hs端”.   I’m using python 3.7.4, via local windows machine.  I’ve tried both archivessnake and just using requests, but I still end up with 端.

Suggestions?  Here’s what I’m doing via asnake:

export_options = '?include_daos=true&?include_unpublished=false&?numbered_cs=false'
for i in resource_ids:
ead = client.get(repo['uri']
                             +'/resource_descriptions/'+str(i)+'.xml'
                             + export_options).text
