Description

When trying to insert some text with non-ascii character into a TextField from admin, Django throws this error:

Maybe this can be fixed only with the Unicode branch?

Triage Stage:	Unreviewed → Accepted

This is exactly the sort of probem we are fixing on the unicode branch. I'll leave this open until that is merged, but it's not something to fix on trunk.

Keywords:	unicode-branch added

comment:3 by zebziggle@…, 17 years ago

Any suggestions for a workaround on this?

comment:4 by anonymous, 17 years ago

Use the unicode branch. This is not going to be fixed on trunk until the branch is merged.

Resolution:	→ fixed
Status:	new → closed

(In [5609]) Merged Unicode branch into trunk (r4952:5608). This should be fully
backwards compatible for all practical purposes.

Fixed #2391, #2489, #2996, #3322, #3344, #3370, #3406, #3432, #3454, #3492, #3582, #3690, #3878, #3891, #3937, #4039, #4141, #4227, #4286, #4291, #4300, #4452, #4702

Changed HttpRequest.path to be a Unicode object. It has already been
URL-decoded by the time we see it anyway, so keeping it as a UTF-8 bytestring
was causing unnecessary problems.

that was outside the control of the Feed class was messed up).

Improved syndication feed framework to use RequestSite if the sites framework is not installed -- i.e., the sites framework is no longer required to use the syndication feed framework. This is backwards incompatible if anybody has subclassed Feed and overridden init(), because the second parameter is now expected to be an HttpRequest object instead of request.path
