UnicodeEncodeError when displaying DataFrame with Python 2.7

[trankmichael]

Environment

• Operating System:
• Python Version: 2.7.6
• How did you install Qgrid: pip
• Python packages: qgrid==1.0.5, jupyterlab==0.32.1, notebook==5.3.1
• Jupyter lab packages (if applicable): jupyterlab-manager v0.35.0, qgrid v1.0.5

Description of Issue

• What did you expect to happen?
  I expected to view the DataFrame similar to __repr_html__.

• What happened instead?
  An error from qgrid.grid._update_df when it calls .map(str)

'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 16-18: ordinal not in range(128)

Reproduction Steps

import qgrid
x = pd.DataFrame({'alias': u'柏林市'}, index=[0])

display(x)
qg = qgrid.show_grid(tmp, grid_options={'editable': False})

What steps have you taken to resolve this already?

I tried setting 'editable' : False hoping that that would not call _update_df.

Thanks for the report...this seems to be working as expected for me, unless I'm missing something. I tested on both python 2 and 3. For both, I see the following:

Sorry, it works when '柏林市' is a string but fails with u'柏林市' . I've updated the reproduction steps to:

import qgrid
x = pd.DataFrame({'alias': u'柏林市'}, index=[0])

display(x)
qg = qgrid.show_grid(tmp, grid_options={'editable': False})

Thanks. This is fixed in the latest beta (1.0.6b6) which you can install from pypi with pip install qgrid --pre. I'll close this issue once the beta is officially released and available on conda-forge.
