I'm a noob, but perhaps this will help the discussion. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/serialization/
"If you're using UTF-8 (or any other non-ASCII encoding) data with the JSON serializer, you must pass ensure_ascii=False as a parameter to the serialize() call..." I saw this before I tried to create a fixture. I somewhat assumed (and could be totally 100% wrong) that dumpdata uses this code, so I looked around for some similar flag to dumpdata. In the end I just ran dumpdata with --format=xml and then --format=json, thinking one of the two will probably work. (Incidentally, I have a list of countries in my DB in unicode.) As much as I hate XML, I really don' t care if it's XML when I don't ever have to look at it. Anyway, I went to bed and didn't test my dump'ed data yet. Will do that today at some point. Help this helps.
