I am currently working through the django book and I've got to the
fifth chapter where I would like to replace the __str__() methods with
__unicode__() methods instead. The reason is that my database will
hold a great deal of Japanese text, UTF-8 encoded. After declaring the
UTF-8 encoding at the top of models.py, as a test, I replace
def __str__(self):
return self.name
with
def __unicode__(self):
return u'テスト'
Entering the following code (from the django book) into the manage.py
shell doesn't give the expected output.
>>> from books.models import Publisher
>>> publisher_list = Publisher.objects.all()
>>> publisher_list
I expect:
[<Publisher: テスト>, <Publisher: テスト>]
but instead, the テスト part is replaced with random Japanese characters
that are not the ones I expected.
I am using a Japanese version of Windows XP with PostgreSQL installed.
The encoding of the database and the file are both UTF-8. The cmd.exe
prompt doesn't let me type in Japanese but it does display Japanese if
I print out something I've saved in a file for example.
Any ideas on where I'm going wrong? Apologies if this has been asked
before.
