I have a file which is full of codes like \222 (for an em dash), produced by a
Windows program.
I'm uploading this to my app using curl (on my mac) so the bytes are not being
transcoded by my uploader, and I've found that I can get the right unicode
version if I do this nastiness:
def replaceWindowsCodes(s):
s = re.sub('\205',u'\u2026',s)
s = re.sub('\221',u'\u2018',s)
s = re.sub('\222',u'\u2019',s)
s = re.sub('\223',u'\u201c',s)
s = re.sub('\224',u'\u201d',s)
s = re.sub('\225',u'\u2022',s)
s = re.sub('\226',u'\u2013',s)
s = re.sub('\227',u'\u2014',s)
s = re.sub('\240',u'\u00a0',s)
return s
in my post handler:
t.text = replaceWindowsCodes(unicode(self.request.get("text"),
'iso-8859-1'))
I'm guessing that there is a better way to do this. Can someone who
understands text encodings and python's various string types get me pointed in
the right direction?
