I am getting a "UnicodeEncodeError" when trying to add data containing accented characters (or 'ñ') via the admin interface. I am using the latest revision of Django via svn, and a mysql database with "DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8". Here's the odd part: The data does get added to the database, the error seems to be related to the admin interface's forms. In this case, I created an 'author' named : Niño Niñó. This gives me the error reproduced below. However, if I go into the list view for Authors, it shows up.If I try to modify Niño, I get a UnicodeEncodeError. I also get the same error if I try to create a new Publication (that has Author as a ManyToManyField) I also get the UnicodeEncodeError. If I delete the offending entry in the DB, the errors go away.
Any help is of course appreciated, Rodrigo ------ The error: UnicodeEncodeError at /admin/revistas/articulo/add/ 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xd1' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) Request Method: POST Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/revistas/autor/add/ Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xd1' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) Exception Location: C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\utils \encoding.py in force_unicode, line 53 Python Executable: C:\Python24\python.exe Python Version: 2.4.3 Python Path: (removed) Unicode error hint The string that could not be encoded/decoded was: NIÑÓ, Niñ ----- The last entry of the trackback is: C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\utils\encoding.py in force_unicode 46. if strings_only and isinstance(s, (types.NoneType, int, long, datetime.datetime, datetime.date, datetime.time, float)): 47. return s 48. try: 49. if not isinstance(s, basestring,): 50. if hasattr(s, '__unicode__'): 51. s = unicode(s) 52. else: 53. s = unicode(str(s), encoding, errors) ... 54. elif not isinstance(s, unicode): 55. # Note: We use .decode() here, instead of unicode(s, encoding, 56. # errors), so that if s is a SafeString, it ends up being a 57. # SafeUnicode at the end. 58. s = s.decode(encoding, errors) 59. except UnicodeDecodeError, e: ▼ Local vars Variable Value encoding 'utf-8' errors 'strict' s <Autor: NIÑO, Ñód> strings_only False --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
