Public bug reported:

Conditions:

- Holland 1.1.22
- Password containing "£" as 15th character
- Password in ~/.my.cnf, not in Holland config files
- mysqldump  Ver 8.0.24 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)


Behavior observed:


# holland bk --dry-run
Holland 1.1.22 started with pid 8717
--- Starting dry run ---
Creating backup path /var/spool/holland/default/20210420_194301
Estimating size of mysqldump backup
Failed to connect to database
MySQL Error 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa3' in position 15: ordinal not in range(128)
Backup failed after 0.01 seconds
Backup failed: Failed backup: default
--- Ending dry run ---


mysqldmup alone works fine.

Google says this particular error possibly has to do with Python's str()
doing an implicit encode, and perhaps explicit encode/decodes are
better.
