Hello, Add a file named sitecustomize.py in python_path/lib/python/site-packages with the following code: import sys sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF-8') restart zope and it should fix your problem Eric On Nov 9, 2007 10:59 AM, adam molyneaux <adam.molyneaux@bluewin.ch> wrote:
Hi
I am currently having problems sorting out utf8 encoding through the following chain of events, and I would GREATLY appreciate any help anyone can offer. I need to do the following, in a Zope 2.9.2-, python 2.4.3 setup (I have also tried this on Zope 2.10.4 with the uniocode patch for MySQLDA and get slightly different equally annoying results).
1. Read and parse a file encoded as utf8 - currently done with an external script 2. send it to a page to edit as utf8 3. save it from the page into a mysql database as utf8
This is slightly complicated by the fact that steps 2 and 3 need to happen via XMLHttpRequest calls, and the data is sent serialized as JSON
Anyone done anything similar with success ?
Currently when I export stuff from my database for the end client I am having to change %uXXXX in the text into \uXXXX then decode the string as 'latin1', further decode it as 'unicode_escape', then recode it as 'utf8'.
This seems slightly 'dangerous'.
Thanks for any help - this has cost me far too much time already.
Adam
