It is not an issue of Zope since you can store texts with different encodings in Zope. I assume for most english speaking or european users ISO-8859-1 the prefered encoding (or ascii). But there is now way to get the encoding of a text by "looking at the text". For situations where you have texts with different encodings it is necessary that the object containing the text has a property that contains the encoding information. Using sys.getdefaultencoding() usually returns "ascii" since only few Zope/Python users change this value. -aj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Jones" <rjones@ekit-inc.com> To: "Andreas Jung" <andreas@andreas-jung.com>; "Maik Jablonski" <maik.jablonski@uni-bielefeld.de>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 23:33 Subject: Re: [Zope] Re: [Docutils-develop] ReStructuredText now in Zope

This problem occurs when you try to convert non-ascii text to unicode without specifying the used encoding. I have not looked at the ReStructuredText product yet but there should be some mechanism to specify the encoding for a text.
There is - how do I determine the encoding from Zope?
