We're seeing problems in one application here due to the catalog and
interactions with Unicode. Here's what happens:
- an object is indexed with a Unicode title, so in the catalog the
metadata tuple has for instance (u'cafe',)
- later that title is changed to latin-1, so the new metadata tuple
would be ('caf\xe9',)
The problem is that Catalog.py has in updateMetadata() the code:
if data.get(index, 0) != newDataRecord:
data[index] = newDataRecord
The simple comparison in the first line provokes a
UnicodeDecodeError, you can reproduce by a simple:
python -c "u'e' == '\xe9'"
This understandable, but in the case of the catalog really not
helpful. I propose to change the code above to:
try:
changed = data.get(index, 0) != newDataRecord
except UnicodeDecodeError:
changed = True
if changed:
data[index] = newDataRecord
Objections ?
