Hello, I have run into a character-encoding error while developing a custom admin site with the newforms-admin branch.
Everything works fine with standard alphanumeric input, but as soon as I enter a special character (an accented e or a pound sign, for example) into a text field or textarea, I get the following error: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ UnicodeEncodeError at /admin/profile/profile/1/ 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 5: ordinal not in range(128) Request Method: POST Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/profile/profile/1/ Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 5: ordinal not in range(128) Exception Location: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/db/backends/util.py in execute, line 17 Python Executable: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python Python Version: 2.4.4 Traceback (innermost last) Switch to copy-and-paste view /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/core/handlers/base.py in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/contrib/admin/sites.py in root return self.model_page(request, *url.split('/', 2)) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/contrib/admin/sites.py in model_page return admin_obj(request, rest_of_url) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/contrib/admin/options.py in __call__ return self.change_view(request, unquote(url)) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/contrib/admin/options.py in change_view return self.save_change(request, model, form, inline_formsets) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/contrib/admin/options.py in save_change new_object = form.save(commit=True) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/newforms/models.py in save return save_instance(self, instance, fields, fail_message, commit) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/newforms/models.py in save_instance instance.save() ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/db/models/base.py in save db_values + [pk_val]) ... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/django/db/backends/util.py in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) ... -------------------------------------------------------------- In that particular case, the offending data was u'asdf \xe9' (It was entered as asdf é). FYI, I am using Postgres. Does anyone have a clue what is going on? I have found at least four references to this problem in previous posts and tickets, but no solid explanations or answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've already spent a half-day trying to figure this out.
