Hi - I'm not sure if this is a Django problem, but I'm working on a Django
project so I thought I'd start here.
In my project users will submit text by way of a text field which will
eventually be encoded with urllib.quote() and used in a url. When I submit
text, certain characters appear on my console in the debugger as \u encoded
symbols (they are unicode strings). In the admin interface, strings
containing an apostrophe have a space inserted before the apostrophe, for
example: "Europe ’s sovereign-debt crisis"
In the console, that string appears as "Europe \u2019s sovereign-debt
crisis". When I try to pass this string through urllib.quote() I get a
KeyError:
qk = quote(query_text)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/urllib.py",
line 1216, in quote
res = map(safe_map.__getitem__, s)
KeyError: u'\u2019'
Is seems like the text, which originates from the users' web browser is
being corrupted when it is encoded as unicode. Any ideas on how to proceed
would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
