UTF-8 encoding error when writing config.py with non-ASCII characters in project names
Problem Description
The application crashes with a UTF-8 encoding error when processing Jira projects that contain non-ASCII characters (e.g., Chinese characters) in their names. The error occurs when the list_data() method tries to write project mappings to the config.py file.
Error Message
File "d:\Git\Temp\jira2lab\src\config.py", line 139
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa4 in position 16: invalid start byte
Steps to Reproduce
- Run the list script to fetch Jira projects
- Have projects with Chinese/non-ASCII characters in their names
- The script attempts to write these project names to
config.py - Python fails to parse the resulting config file due to encoding issues
Expected Behavior
The script should properly handle non-ASCII characters in project names and write them to the config file with correct UTF-8 encoding, allowing the config file to be parsed without errors.
Current Behavior
The script writes non-ASCII characters in a way that causes UTF-8 decoding errors when Python tries to parse the config file, resulting in a SyntaxError.
Environment
- OS: Windows
- Python version: 3.12.10
- Jira projects contain Chinese characters
