This could be done with utils.http.urlquote().
Any halfway capable filesystems can handle non-ASCII characters, so this is just an arbitrary restriction. It's something that could be overridable (since people want pretty much arbitrary control over the filename anyway, it's just another part of that), but it's not a default requirement. > > * The database should contain the unicode filename. > > Has someone the same problems? > > Has someone solved/coded this? There's a ticket in track by Marty Alchin to redesign large portions of the FileField storage and the like. That should solve most of your issues.
