Thank you for answering; I had a feeling that some autoescape magic might be at work.
Unfortunately I do not have the code here, but the django traceback goes like this: ------------------------ Environment: Request Method: GET Request URL: http://devel.pc-horse.com/NewLicense/47/ Django Version: 1.2 beta 1 SVN-12494 Python Version: 2.5.2 Installed Applications: ['django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'sleipner.config', 'sleipner.main', 'sleipner.transactions', 'sleipner.DIBS'] Installed Middleware: ('django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware') Traceback: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response 101. response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/var/www/Django/devel/sleipner/main/license.py" in new 58. form = NewLicenseForm( country ) File "/var/www/Django/devel/sleipner/main/license.py" in __init__ 36. productList.append( (p.id , "%s %s %6.0f %s" % (type.localized_name(country.id) , dur.localized_duration(country.id) , total_price , currency )) ) --------------------------------------------- The return value from the function "dur.localilized_duration( )" contains a "å" and that is what it brings it down. I have certainly declared encoding in the source file which contains the implementation of this function (which contains a literal "å"), but come to think of it I might have forgotten to declare endcoding of the source file which is actually running when it crashes?
