Hmm. There is no get_img_src in "gittip/models/participant.py", is it now in "gittip/models/_mixin_elsewhere.py"? Anyway, I do not see how that replace call can cause UnicodeDecodeError. Is this still actual? Can we can more info? Some repro steps? The sentry link says 404.

Interesting. Wonder why that's 404?

I bet this is still live. We should work backwards in get_img_src to try to come up with repro steps.

get_img_src got rewritten in #1369. Closing as obsolete.
