> Do you know which parts of django still use bytecode strings? As far as I know, it's only newforms and this is why the topic was born: at the moment newforms work right until you want to put any non- latin1 character through them to db. I've done the patch (#3370) which fixes the issue but it only works when your templates and your db are all in utf-8. And Ivan says this is wrong. From one hand I agree with him: this is not right. From other hand, I open the page http:// www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/ and there's written: "We will REMOVE django.oldforms in the release ...". So if I start a new project based on django, or I extend existing project, there is very strong reason for me to use newforms, BUT they don't work. Confused ? Me too :(
Now I would like someone to explain me a few things before I start to do next patches :) 1. newforms are with unicode inside 2. ORM is with str inside Should we (me, someone other) patch ORM to make it store everything in unicode inside it too, or at the moment unicode must be only inside newforms and newforms.model.save() must be fixed to put bytestring decoded data to models ? And another thing I still don't understand is: let's pretend I use MySQL 4.0 with national charset and my templates are in the same charset too. How would work: > the path: legacy (web) - unicode (newforms) - utf-8 (db connection) - legacy > (db) specially the part "utf-8 (db connection)" ? In this situation we must convert strings to our app's encoding at the python side because our legacy db can't do it itself. But we use utf-8 for connection so who and where should do this conversion ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
