[Talk-ca] ogr2osm problems

[Sam Dyck]

Hi

I've been working with ogr2osm to convert shapefiles from MLI to
replace Sam Vekemans' Geobase imports of out of date provincial park
boundaries. Running the script gives me this error.
"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ogr2osm/ogr2osm.py", line 783, in <module>
    w.element("tag", k=tagKey.decode("utf-8"), v=tagValue.decode("utf-8"))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 1:
invalid continuation byte"

JOSM gave me an error when I tried to open the file, I opened the file
in nano and found some tags not closed. Attempted to clean up the
file, but JOSM told me that file had no data. The shapefile itself is
fine, any ideas?
