hi, depends on how you define "valid" :) i did some "tests", converted the request-handling and most of the template-rendering, but i don't think it makes sense to use the patches i did at that time, because: - i probably lost them already :) - it was very easy to do - they wouldn't apply to trunk cleanly but i am also +1000 for this change. switching to full unicode is a lot less risky than trying to make the unicode-newforms-with-bytecode-django chimera work correctly. so, if the unification process starts, i'm also eager to help with it. let's hope Malcolm "branch" will work until the deadline :) but, even if it not, i think full django-unification is worth ANY cost. gabor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
