[Zope-dev] Non-Latin-1 properties
Hi! Sorry to beat a dead horse: the ZMI doesn't allow using non-Latin-1 properties. * properties are stored using the default-zpublisher-encoding (iso-8859-15); * manage_propertiesForm is input--output'ed using management_page_charset (UTF-8) ... * ... but built using join_unicode, which calls PyUnicode_DecodeLatin1. To see the problem: * with the default default-zpublisher-encoding (Latin-9), - set a property's value to '€' (not in Latin-1) - Save Changes: it will be displayed as '¤' (the corresponding character) - Save Changes again: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\xa4' in position 0: character maps to undefined (because '¤' is not in (Latin-9). * with default-zpublisher-encoding set to UTF-8 - set a property's value to '€' - Save Changes: it will be displayed as 'â¬' - Save Changes again: it becomes 'â¬' Note that this has repercussions not only on the ZMI but on other products, such as GenericSetup. Some possible fixes: * do nothing. This will please those wishing to deprecate the ZMI, but not the rest of us :-) * rewrite properties.dtml as a ZPT? * change join_unicode to use either default-zpublisher-encoding or yet another setting (which would default to Latin-1 to stay compatible)? Flames, comments? Thanks!
