my code worked fine up until I switched to PostgreSQL from MySQL. Now I am 
bombarded with these errors whenever I have french accents in my strings. 
My database is correctly configured with LATIN1 (as UTF8 didn't like the 
accents when trying to import them from MySQL, the default was UTF8).

My postgresql.conf has the right settings by the look of it:
client_encoding = latin1                # encoding

# These settings are initialized by initdb, but they can be changed.
lc_messages = 'en_CA.iso88591'                  # locale for system error 
message
                                        # strings
lc_monetary = 'en_CA.iso88591' #en_US.UTF-8'    # locale for monetary 
formatting
lc_numeric = 'en_CA.iso88591'                   # locale for number 
formatting
lc_time = 'en_CA.iso88591' 

How do I switch this ascii decoder in django to a decoder that can handle 
french accents?
