So, I just ran into a funny issue. I'm using Django + Mysql and when retrieving users (Auth.user) form the database, the username field comes as a bytestring while everything else seems to come as unicode strings:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User >>> a=User.objects.get(id=1) >>> a.username 'admin' >>> a.email u'admin@localhost' I know you should only use letters and a few more characters in usernames, but that seems to be verified in the forms only. I look at the User model and username, email first and last names are all CharFields, yet username displays this peculiar behaviour. Any reason for this? I'm using: mysqld Ver 5.1.41 Django (1, 3, 1, 'final', 0) MySQLdb (1,2,3,'final',0) In my.conf used in the connection I have [client] default-character-set = utf8 and the tables were created with utf8_general_ci Thanks in advance, Nuno -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
