Comment:
Fixing asap takes very long time.
This bug occur when you have MySQL database in utf-8, and your collation
is utf8_bin.
I get rid from this bug usually with keeping my utf-8 databases in
collation utf8_general_ci.
Patch from [EMAIL PROTECTED] can not fix this bug, but you can add
small check for type at the same place.
Say, you can replace
{{{
encoded_data = base64.decodestring(self.session_data)
}}}
with
{{{
if type(self.session_data) == list:
encoded_data = base64.decodestring("".join(self.session_data))
else:
encoded_data = base64.decodestring(self.session_data)
}}}
I am not insist this code runs without errors, but idea is clear. This is
ugly workaround, but failing admin area is more ugly probably, rspecially
for newcomers running tutorial. This kind of check is used now when
uploading files, so having such a fragment is not a big deal. If this
error is caused by MySQLdb of some versions, some people anyway will have
that version, so better have it fixed here than wait when MySQLdb will be
fixed and all people will update their MySQLdb.
