Script gives error "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c'"
Fixed using top answer here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31137552/unicodeencodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-encode-character-at-special-name
But the cards still haven't been imported even though the script ran successfully.

Can you provide more issues or make a PR with that change? Thanks in advance 👍
Hi, I'm having the same issue.
I managed to manually import the issues generated with curl after printing the xml_string variable from Tty/YouTrack.py
But directly from the script it keeps returning "<Response [400]>".
Trying to solve this because it is a preety neat script. If I'm able to resolve I'll open a PR.
I'm having the response:
ParseError at [row,col]:[202,101] Message: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.
From youtrack through the api but can't find what is wrong since I can use the same output on curl and works fine, lol
I might have solved it.
Tested with other boards that where working and tweeking I found that latin characteres like: á , ê ... where returning the error, changed from xml_string.decode('utf-8') to xml_string.encode('utf-8') and it seems to have solved it.
Gonna test everything, clean my code and submit a PR ASAP.
