Because specifying the encoding declaration of utf-8 and using u'' around a string that is not properly utf-8 encoded should have (and does in my tests) generate an error on any attempt to import your models file, not an error later on. > > Here is the trace back: > Environment: > > [snip] File "c:\python25\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\encoding.py" in > force_unicode 70. raise DjangoUnicodeDecodeError(s, *e.args) > Exception Type: DjangoUnicodeDecodeError at /admin/pesoa/pesoa/add/ > Exception Value: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 15-18: > invalid data.

The error is happening because that string is not utf-8 encoded: Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jul 31 2008, 23:17:40) [GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> s = 'Numero de telem\xf3vel' >>> print unicode(s,'utf8') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 15-18: invalid data >>> print unicode(s,'iso8859-1') Numero de telemóvel >>> Looks more likely it is iso8859-1. So, you could change your Python encoding declaration for this file to match the reality of the file (and use u'' around all strings, since Django is going to assume utf-8 for any bytestrings passed to it), or you can re-encode your file to really be in utf-8. How to do that depends on what editor you are using.
