Hi, I'm in need of a little education. This may be a python issue rather than a Django one, but is anybody can help I'd appreciate it.
I've written an a little script which gets external data and inserts it into the database using the Django models. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) somebody has put the word 'Résumé' into the data source that I'm using and those accented charactered are causing an exception when I call the save method on my object. The field is declared as a CharField, and the data assigned is a Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in ? File "/Users/pauls/Documents/Web Development/myapp/myscript.py", line 37, in main e.save() File ".../django/db/models/base.py", line 199, in save ','.join(placeholders)), db_values) File ".../django/db/backends/util.py", line 19, in execute self.db.queries.append({ UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 991: ordinal not in range(128) I understand that it's having problems because the string is identified as an ASCII string and that character is beyond that, but how would I identify this string as (probably) ISO8859-1?
