Hi, I am using Django for about half a year and it rocks. Indeed, it would rock even more if it switched from using UTF-8 bytestrings to use unicode strings everywhere.
The main drawbacks of using UTF-8 strings are: - regexps won't work on utf-8 bytestrings containing non-ASCII characters; - lower(), upper(), etc. won't work on utf-8 bytestrings containing non-ASCII characters; - slicing, like s[0:3], won't work on utf-8 bytestrings containing non-ASCII characters. So, what's stopping Django from switching to unicode? Is someone working on it? And finally, what should I do to see my sweet Django fully unicode-aware? :) Andrey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
