Ok, I've dug a little more and I realised I'd got the wrong end of the stick.
The string I'm assigning to the field is a unicode string. Django is trying to do a .encode('ascii') on it and failing. Understandable really I assume I have to do a .encode('utf-8') on it before I store it. Does that tend to be the standard? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
