Hi I'm having some trouble with a UTF8 DB and strings not being converted. I get the following:
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe2' in position 142: ordinal not in range(128). See the code below. With the same engine, if I connect directly, I have no problems but if I go via my mapped class (Source, also see below), I get such errors. Any ideas? Am I just being dumb here? Cheers Will #ENGINE engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine ('postgres://me:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 5432/MAP', convert_unicode=True) #DOESN'T WORK: Session = sqlalchemy.orm.sessionmaker(bind=engine) session = Session() Source.metadata.create_all(engine) results = session.query(Source).all() #DOES WORK: con = engine.connect() results = con.execute("select abstract from base_source") #THE SOURCE CLASS class Source(Base): __tablename__ = 'base_source' id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) temp_author = Column(UnicodeText) abstract = Column(UnicodeText) year = Column(UnicodeText) title = Column(UnicodeText) journal = Column(UnicodeText) ref_type = Column(UnicodeText) url = Column(UnicodeText) pr = Column(Boolean) ihd= Column(Boolean) vector = Column(Boolean) def __init__(self, year, title, author, abstract, ref_type): self.year = year self.title = title self.abstract = abstract def __repr__(self): return self.abstract --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
