sorry if I was not clear but I don't get you. this happens only in the admin when uploading a file (say 'file_é.jpg') for an object. saving the modifications gives the UnicodeEncodeError..
Modifying the same object (still in the admin) and uploading a standard imagefile (which name contains only ascii chars) gives no errors. cheers, _y On Sep 29, 7:05 pm, werefr0g <weref...@yahoo.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > You should check that your file is actually utf-8 encoded and add the > folliwing right after shebang: > # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- > > Le 29/09/2010 18:59, jean polo a �crit : > > > Hi. > > I get an 'UnicodeEncodeError' if I upload a file (ImageField) with non- > > ascii chars in my application (django-1.2.1). > > > I added: > > > export LANG='en_US.UTF-8' > > export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8' > > > in my /etc/apache2/envvars as stated here: > >http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modpython/#if-y... > > > but I still have the same error (after restarting apache). > > Any hint much appreciated. > > > cheers, > > _y > > > ps: > > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > [snip] > > File "/usr/languages/python/2.6/lib/python2.6/genericpath.py", line > > 18, in exists > > st = os.stat(path) > > > UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe7' in > > position 53: ordinal not in range(128) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
