Re: I can't use accented letters in my model

This is a good primer on bytes vs strings: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/ On June 14, 2022 2:43:54 AM CDT, Antonis Christofides wrote: >Exactly. The important t

Re: I can't use accented letters in my model

Exactly. The important thing to remember here is that, in Python 2, a "string" is actually a list of bytes, whereas a "unicode string" is actually a list of characters (not a list of unicode characters—just a list of characters). The confusion arises because, when Python was created, i.e. in 199

Thank you, Antonis, it works ! book.title = u'Verità' doesn't give any errors. Just another step: suppose that the title with accented letters stays in a variable, say titolo, and I want to write book.title = titolo. It gives error. How can I do, when the assignment on the right is not a constan

I have surround book.save with a try...catch...; the exception is: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings. Without t

I can't use accented letters in my model

Hi everybody. I defined a model class, Book, whose field title may contain accented letters. But in the case, when the instruction save() is executed, I receive an error saying that "You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_
