Hello,
I have run into some issues with utf-8 encoded data being displayed in
Jinja2. More specifically, if I have a variable 'X' encoded as utf-8, and I
refer to it in a template like {{ X }}, an exception is raised if it is a
non-ascii unicode character. I can solve individual issues with {{
X.decode('utf-8') }}, but I have hundreds of references to various
variables that may or may not have similar issues, and I'd rather handle it
once (than dozens of times now and in the future).
What I want to do is to have every value to be output passed through a
function that properly decodes as necessary. Something like...
def auto_decode(st):
if isinstance(st, unicode):
return st
elif isinstance(st, str):
return unicode(st, 'utf-8')
else:
return unicode(st)
I know this *should* be possible, autoescaping does a similar kind of thing
(anyone know where the function is that does the autoescaping?)
How could/should I make this happen? Is there some sort of magical
monkey-patching I can perform (I'm not above replacing code objects on
functions)? Is there a visitor that I can write that replaces some node
reference with another node that does what I describe above? Can I just add
a piece that consumes a TemplateStream and handles the manipulation there?
Any pointers, ideas, etc., would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
- Josiah
