Hi all... I'm trying to pass a variable from an text field in a DTMLFile to a python method.It works as expected, except if i insert chars with an ascii code bigger than 127. For example, if i insert the string "execução" (i hope you see it right), i get the string "execu\xe7\xe3o". I've already set the meta tag in the dtml file to accept charset iso-8859-1, and i've even changed the encoding variable from the site.py file at \bin\lib\. It's crucial that i get the string as inserted, because i'm using it in an sql query. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem??? Thanks Gil
