Hello guys, I have data stored in the database which has special characters like <, > etc. Case 1: Whenever I wanted to present the output to a browser I need to escape these special characters into the browser equivalent like < > etc.( for example by using the cgi module) Case 2: Whenever I wanted to present the output to some client other than a browser, I wanted to present the data as it is stored in the database.
For doing this I thought of overriding the __builtin__.__getattr__ method. I am wondering if there is any other way of achieving this. I have loads of files that get the attribute values of objects stored in the database and I do not want to manually change the way of DB access in those files. I rather prefer a centralized way to achieve this. Good inputs are always appreciated. :-) Raja -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
