I have the following code:
otherAlbums = models.Album.objects.filter
(song_album__artist__name=artist).distinct().order_by('releasedate')
when artist contains a unicode value, such as 'El Camarón de la Isla',
then I receive the following:
Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError
Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf3' in
position 8: ordinal not in range(128)
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/utils/
encoding.py in force_unicode, line 53
I've never run across this before. The project has been in production
for about 2 years. I've tried 0.96-pre and the 1.02-final versions.
It seems Django doesn't like filtering on a unicode string.
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have on working around
this problem.
Thanks!
The framework location that pukes is here:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/utils/encoding.py in
force_unicode
46. if strings_only and isinstance(s, (types.NoneType, int, long,
datetime.datetime, datetime.date, datetime.time, float)):
47. return s
48. try:
49. if not isinstance(s, basestring,):
50. if hasattr(s, '__unicode__'):
51. s = unicode(s)
52. else:
53. s = unicode(str(s), encoding, errors)
