About every once a year I am forced out on the internet to read about
"encodings and such"; while reading about it all makes sense, but when
actually trying to get things to work I always go through a period of
swearing and frustration - I never really get it :-(
Now, in a Django view I have a selectionlist, and one of the seletions
should contain the Norwegian problem child 'å'. I have tried the
following:
1, I have explicitly used the HTML syntax å - however in this
case Django ended up rendering the '&' as '&', i.e. as if I wanted
a literal '&'.
2. I just entered the 'å' in the Python source code for the view. Then
a get a Python run.-time error stating that I must declare an encoding
when using non-ASCII characters. I then tried declaring the encoding
'latin-1' in the top of the source file of the view, this gave a
UnicodeDecodeError triggered by Django:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe5 in position 14: ordinal
not in range(128)
Any hints?
