Re: [Zope] Dealing with non-ASCII strings?

Yes. The bit we were missing in our app was this: our LDAP connection didn't want unicode_string (which looks like, say, u'string\xNN'), but it's fine with unicode_string.encode('utf-8') (which looks like, say, 'string\xc3\xNN').

at least as far as OpenLDAP is concerned, it expects all text sent to it to be either ASCII or UTF8-encoded unicode. anything else will give you trouble or wrong query results. jens
