8300	feedgenerator shouldn't use ascii to decode dates	alperkanat	nobody	"if i use some locale like '''tr_TR.UTF-8''' or any other locale, a date for the rss feed could be '''""10 Ağu""''' instead of '''""10 Aug""'''.. Therefore, I get the following error messages:

UnicodeDecodeError at /feeds/latest/[[BR]]
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

I think all decoding should be done using utf-8 instead of ascii.. And by the way there's a problem in line 241 of feedgenerator.py file:

handler.addQuickElement(u""pubDate"", rfc2822_date(item['pubdate']).decode('links'))

'links' here should be something like ascii or especially utf-8.."		closed	contrib.syndication	dev		duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
