Description
I uploaded a dataset (https://www.openml.org/d/42685) using the python API, but it apparently never leaves the "in preparation" status. The reason seems to be the column "city" which has values with special characters (accents), e.g. "São Paulo".
Then I created a version of this dataset by replacing such special characters and this problem was gone. I am not sure if there is a plan to allow such special characters in the data, but it could be very helpful (I could not find if there was another related issue posted at GitHub).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the dataset upload through the Python API using the cited dataset and accented values such as “São Paulo.” Trace why the upload remains “in preparation”; done means datasets containing these characters complete processing successfully, with a regression test covering the case.
