[google-appengine] Re: UnicodeDecodeError in Appengine deployed version, but not in Devserver
I can't imagine why this would work on the dev server (might be a
locale setting on your local machine that makes unicode() somehow use
an encoding that works), but from what I can tell, an ARC4
object's .encrypt() method isn't producing encoded unicode, so
coercing it to unicode (either without specifying an encoding or with
one) should fail spectacularly. Use a db.BlobProperty to store binary
data, rather than trying to convert it to unicode and storing it as
text.

This code properly encrypts/decrypts the webapp request variables and
stores into the Person Object while running on the localhost Dev
server, but on the Deployed app, it throws a UnicodeDecodeError. I've
also tried:
unicode(encrypt_data(self.request.get('description'))).encode('utf-8')
but that fails on both servers

help??
Without seeing your code, almost certainly not.

[google-appengine] Re: UnicodeDecodeError in Appengine deployed version, but not in Devserver
Thanks! It works now. For others reading this thread, the code now
reads:
class Person(db.model):
name = db.ByteString()
description = db.BlobProperty()
class PersonHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
pers = Person()
pers.name = encrypt_data(self.request.get('name'))
pers.description = encrypt_data(self.request.get('description'))
pers.put()
def encrypt_data(plaintext):
obj=ARC4.new(RSAPrivateKey())
return obj.encrypt(plaintext)
def decrypt_data(ciphertext):
obj=ARC4.new(RSAPrivateKey())
return obj.decrypt(ciphertext)
