Hi all,

sorry for reposting this from stackoverflow [1] but I'm hoping to hear
from more people who may have experience with this sort of thing.

Django comes with unicode support out of the box and it supports utf-8
by default. Say that you have developed, debugged and tested
successfully a site with a bunch of Django apps in utf-8. What steps
would you take for a mostly painless migration to a different
encoding, say latin-1 ? It would be great if all it needs is setting
DEFAULT_CHARSET = 'latin-1' and changing the encoding of the database
but I somehow doubt it is that simple.

For the sake of the discussion let's ignore the migration of any
already stored utf-8 data in the database; I'm mostly interested in
what should I be looking for in the Django codebase, as well the
database and web server configuration changes if necessary.

George
