Hey all, I am writing a new Django based application that will replace our current shopping cart system. All is great on that front and Django has been amazing. I have written xcart_convert.py that sends queries to the current database to pull out all of the information and move it over to the new Django database. I have to do lots of different parsing of items to get them more standardized and what not.
The current application has a products table that contains descriptions for products. In these descriptions the client was able to do literally anything they wanted to do. With that much freedom, and little knowledge of how HTML and character encodings worked they threw tons of stuff in it and it just happened to work. My xcart_convert.py script works fine, but when I have characters like \xbd which is the hex value for the 1/2 symbol in extended ASCII it doesn't get put into the database through Django that way. It ends up being represented as a ?. I looked around for something to convert these into HTML entities, but failed. Should this being working through Django or should I have to be doing something to keep these characters in their original format? Thanks!
