Luis Nell commented on THRIFT-1460:
-----------------------------------
I just verified if this bug still exists with the latest trunk (with pycassa
1.6.0, (i)python 2.7.1, cassandra 1.1) and it doesn't.
{code}
# cassandra connection setup etc. left out.
# Insert and Get of unicode data:
>>> import uuid
>>> uid = uuid.uuid4()
>>> MYCF.insert(uid, {'öäü': 'ñasdâé'})
1337510467426464 # timestamp of modification
>>> MYCF.get(uid)
OrderedDict([(u'\xf6\xe4\xfc', u'\xf1asd\xe2\xe9')])
>>> print MYCF.get(uid)[u'öäü']
ñasdâé
>>> ENTITY.insert(uid, {'name': u'Shaq\u2013Kobe feud'}) # now with the above
>>> testcase.
1337510579083911
>>> ENTITY.get(uid)
OrderedDict([(u'name', u'Shaq\u2013Kobe feud'), (u'\xf6\xe4\xfc',
u'\xf1asd\xe2\xe9')])
>>> print ENTITY.get(uid)['name']
Shaq–Kobe feud
>>> ENTITY.get(uid)['name'].encode('utf8')
'Shaq\xe2\x80\x93Kobe feud'
{code}
As you can see it works. In case anyone here is not that familiar with python
and/or unicode: the 'encode()' translates a string from one encoding to another
with the provided translation map. In this case utf8 is translated to ascii via
the utf8 mapping, supplied as argument to 'encode()'.
> why not add unicode strings support to python directly?
