Hi, I am building a fairly large website but I have come a cross one very odd error. We build a simple email record model that has a custom def save() function which when called creates a new Record and fires of the email(s). Now this all works fine till I get a non English PC using this (the error below is from our very basic contact form!)
Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError at /contact-opal-students/ Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xb4' in position 88: ordinal not in range(128) For some reason when we try to put the email context into the db field the errors out as it trys to ASCII a unicode field. I already had a lengthy chat with people in IRC who tried to help but we couldn't find what was wrong. This happens on our live server (debian, apache-mod python 2.4, mysql) and on our development machines (windows, python 2.5, django devserver, mysql 5) To reproduce it I have to change a virtual machine to some foreign language settings and enter some "odd" chars like ' ` ... I can "fix" the issue by switching to Postgrsql which seems to not have this problem (tried it and it works fine, but I would need to change some code in other places, so I would prefer to find out what this error is about)? Google has only a few hits on this with out much use.
