Hi, I've got a problem with putting non unicode signs into a mysql table.
I get an UnicodeEncodeError when an user puts the Euro Sign () in a newform Textfield. The Exception raises when when Django want to write into the MySQL Database. Do I have to encode (or decode) the string before I put it into the database or do i have to change the DEFAULT_CHARSET ? This is the Traceback: UnicodeEncodeError at /mail/schreiben/2/ 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u20ac' in position 0: ordinal not in range(256) Request Method: POST Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mail/schreiben/2/ Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError Exception Value: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u20ac' in position 0: ordinal not in range(256) Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py in unicode_literal, line 179 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.4.egg/django/core/handlers/base.py in get_response /home/christian/sail/saildj/../saildj/mailing/views.py in writemail /home/christian/sail/saildj/../saildj/mailing/models.py in senden /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.4.egg/django/db/models/base.py in save /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.4.egg/django/db/backends/util.py in execute /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.4.egg/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py in execute /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/cursors.py in execute /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py in literal /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py in unicode_literal The POST Data from the user was the Euro Sign: POST: Variable Value betreff 'testmail' thread_id '' text '\xe2\x82\xac' I hope you can help me...
