Hi, all! I'm just starting to learn Django 0.96, implemented a simple website and finally stuck with one simple markdown problem. My site is utf-8 and information i stored in sqlite. When i added markdown filter to my template i got the following error:
Request Method: GET Request URL: http://localhost:8000/ Exception Type: UnicodeDecodeError Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/markdown.py in removeBOM, line 74 Seems like python-markdown wants to remove BOM's from *unicode* string and Django gives it a bytestring. Strange thing is that pysqlite extracts data as unicode strings and then they are encoded to bytestrings with django.db.backends.sqlite3.base.utf8rowFactory. I changed the call to markdown from: markdown.markdown(value) to: markdown.markdown(value.decode('utf-8')) ...and the problem dissapeared. My question is why Django prefers to work with bytestrings internally and how can i fix this problem properly? Also I don't want to use SVN version. I peeked at markup module at SVN and it seems like it still passes bytestrings to markdown, except this time using smart_str() Can someone help? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
