the code below does not give a validation error when typing umlauts, but the umlauts are not saved to the database.
al_re = re.compile(r'^\w+$', re.UNICODE) def clean_last_name(self): if 'last_name' in self.cleaned_data: if not al_re.search(self.cleaned_data['last_name']): raise forms.ValidationError('Error message.') return self.cleaned_data['last_name'] when doing "print self.cleaned_data" I´m getting this: 'last_name': u'M\xfcller', how am I supposed to deal with umlautes when using newforms? btw: all our data is utf-8 thanks, patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
