Well, your browser may not be detecting the "character encoding" correctly. If
your data comes from a database that has it stored as "ISO-8859-1" and the
browser thinks it's UTF-8, generally you get a mess. Equally important is the
character encoding that your editor uses when it saves files like templates.
Your best bet is to standarize on one character encoding. Using UTF-8 for
everything is probably the most future-proof.
Does anybody knows what can be it?? I've made a simple test to see what
the template returns, and it returns the "string" below:
>>> t = Template("My special letters are : áéíóú")
>>> c = Context({})
>>> t.render(c)
'My special letters are : \xe1\xe9\xed\xf3\xfa'
>>> print t.render(c)
My special letters are : áéíóú
If you do something on the commandline, you also have to check what encoding
is being used by your terminal to display the characters back to you.
Any idea?
It is a mess, and has been for a while. It will go away when everybody agrees
to use the same encoding. I fear, it will be with us for a long time :-/.
Thanks
