I just ran into an issue where i was getting unicode errors when trying
to insert data into mysql (via a model).
I had this code:
--
from django.contrib.markup.templatetags.markup import markdown
def save(self):
self.content_html = markdown(self.content_source)
super(Chapter, self).save()
--
self.content_source is utf-8
This would cause a unicode error when the code tried to save the string
in the DB (mysql) if content_source contained any non-ascii chars.
I was able to fix this by explicitly setting the encoding on the string
returned from markdown()
--
from django.contrib.markup.templatetags.markup import markdown
def save(self):
self.content_html = markdown(self.content_source).encode("utf-8")
super(Chapter, self).save()
--
However, I would have expected the markdown function to return the
correctly encoded string.
Here is a simple script that I believe shows the difference in output:
--
from django.contrib.markup.templatetags.markup import markdown
tmp = u'Andr\202'
m = markdown(tmp)
print m
m = markdown(tmp).encode("utf-8")
print m
--
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
django.VERSION (0, 97, 'pre')
I am pretty new to django, and dont have much experience working with
unicode, so I wanted to post here to see if anyone thought that this
looked like a bug? If so I will log it.
