[Zope] UnicodeDecodeError

[Joern Wallstabe]

Thank you all for replying - now it works I got utf-8 string in my form.

Seem Zopes ZPT system is trying to do the encoding, depending on on 
setHeader() method.
So if this header is set you can simply return unicode strings.


Strange setting cmf default charset to utf-8 doesn't work :-(

o.k. replace that with
<tal:content content="python:context.printDict(here.dict)"/>

function now returns unicode string without utf-8 encoding

That was the important hint: added to cmf main_header_template:

tal:define "
dummy python: request.RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html;; 
charset=utf-8');

python dictionary was result form parsing xml data into that dictionary 
(all unicode)

Thanx again :-)
