#4291: Unicode bug with gettext variables in newforms/widgets.py
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: Fidel Ramos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Owner: adrian
Status: new | Component: django.newforms
Version: SVN | Keywords: unicode gettext widget
Stage: Unreviewed | Has_patch: 1
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
{{{newforms/widgets.py}}} has a bug related to {{{gettext}}}. I have a
select widget in a form template with several options, translated with
{{{gettext_lazy}}}. The rendering of the template fails with an
{{{UnicodeDecodeError}}} exception with a message like
{{{
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 8: ordinal not in
range(128)
}}}
Following the callback, trouble arises from calls like this in
{{{newforms/widgets.py}}}:
{{{
escape(smart_unicode(string_variable_with_non_english_chars_translated_by_gettext))
}}}
The fix is simple: exchange the order of the calls to {{{escape()}}} and
{{{smart_unicode()}}}:
{{{
smart_unicode(escape(string_variable_with_non_english_chars_translated_by_gettext))
}}}
These are some code snippets that mimic the application in which I
detected the problem:
model.py:
{{{
FOO_LIST = (('A', _('A msgid'),)
class FooModel(models.Model):
a_list = models.StringField(choices=FOO_LIST)
}}}
django.po:
{{{
msgid "A msgid"
msgstr "Nön-ÁSCII chäráctèrs"
}}}
view.py:
{{{
FooForm = forms.form_for_model(FooModel)
f = FooForm()
return render_to_response('footemplate.html', {'f': f})
}}}
footemplate.html:
{{{
...
{{ f }}
...
}}}
