My code is very simple: def index(): response.flash = "Hello"; form = SQLFORM(db.requests) if form.accepts(request.vars): response.flash = 'Thanks. We will contact you soon.' body = '' for var in form.vars: body = body + var + ':\r\n' + str(form.vars[var]) + '\r\n\r \n' # mail.send('reque...@gmail.com', 'Requests', body) redirect(URL(r=request,f='contacts')) elif form.errors: response.flash = 'Form has errors' else: response.flash = 'Please fill the form' return dict(form=form)
And I enter some cyrilic characters in the form. When I submit form I get: mail.send(\'....@gmail.com\', \'subject\', body)\n File "/var/www/ web2py/gluon/tools.py", line 271, in send\n attachment.attach (email.MIMEText.MIMEText(text.encode(encoding)))\nUnicodeDecodeError: \'ascii\' codec can\'t decode byte 0xd0 in position 30: ordinal not in range(128)\n' I used this code on top of my default controller and it helped. I don't know why should i do this, but it really helped I got this idea from this page http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5628 import sys reload(sys) sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8") What it changes and should I really write this code on the top of each controller?
