I'm having some trouble making my website compatible with accented characters (french website).
I have a form where some field values can be with accented chars: "Coupé" for instance. My URL looks like this: http://localhost:8080/recherches/s?marque=Audi&modeles=A5+Coup%C3%A9 In my django view I do something like this: def search(request): logger = logging.getLogger('custom') criteria_form = CriteriaForm(request.GET or None) logger.debug("search") logger.debug(request.GET) And what I get in my logs is: <QueryDict: {u'marque': [u'Audi'], u'modeles': [u'A5 Coup\xc3\xa9']}> If I query my database with this variable "modeles", I get an error: >>> mo = u'A5 Coup\xc3\xa9'>>> Vehicule.objects.filter(valid=True, >>> modele=mo)[0].marque.nameTraceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 211, in __getitem__ return list(qs)[0]IndexError: list index out of range Things work if I query the database with the utf-8 version: >>> mo = 'A5 Coup\xc3\xa9'>>> Vehicule.objects.filter(valid=True, >>> modele=mo)[0].marque.name u'Audi' So I think (but I might be wrong) that my problem comes from the fact that my variable is utf8 and then encoded with unicode. How comes this is encoded that way? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
