Hi All, I have a Book table in MySQL db. I configured my MySQL db and table to use utf8 character set and the utf8_general_ci collation I created a simple Book class and tried to save unicode data using (a)the django shell (b) the data entry screen created by using ModelAdmin class
In both cases I was getting errors. The column in the model class is defined as having Charfield. I checked this link https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/unicode/. I tried to use smart_text function. But it did not work. I am using python 2.7, django1.5, mysql 5x in windows box The text I am trying to save is a devanagari script word (wikipedia lang code "hi"). Below are the error messages. can some one please help. regards ---------------text --------------------------- s="श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता" print (s) शà¥�रीमदà¥�à¤à¤—वदà¥�गीता ------------Smart Text Error -------------------------------- from django.utils.encoding import * title=smart_text("श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता", encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict') print(title) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 12, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_table) UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-15: character maps to <undefined> -----------------Error trying to save the model from shell------------------------------ gita4 = Book(bookName= "श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता") gita4.save() Error message: Warning: Incorrect string value: '\xE0\xA4\xB6\xE0\xA5\x8D...' for column 'bookName' at row 1 ------------------------- Full StackTrace ---------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 546, in save force_update=force_update, update_fields=update_fields) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 650, in save_base result = manager._insert([self], fields=fields, return_id=update_pk, using=using, raw=raw) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\manager.py", line 215, in _insert return insert_query(self.model, objs, fields, **kwargs) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\query.py", line 1661, in insert_query return query.get_compiler(using=using).execute_sql(return_id) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\sql\compiler.py", line 937, in execute_sql cursor.execute(sql, params) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\util.py", line 41, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 120, in execute return self.cursor.execute(query, args) File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\cursors.py", line 204, in execute if not self._defer_warnings: self._warning_check() File "C:\Softwares\Python2.7.3\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\cursors.py", line 117, in _warning_check warn(w[-1], self.Warning, 3) Warning: Incorrect string value: '\xE0\xA4\xB6\xE0\xA5\x8D...' for column 'bookName' at row 1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
