i just have some hints for you:
* i have import sys; reload( sys ); sys.setdefaultencoding( 'utf-8' )
near the top of my config/environment.py; this should make utf-8 the
vm-wide default encoding and replace us ascii;
* further down in the same file, i have:
templating_options = {
...
'mako.input_encoding': 'UTF-8',
'mako.output_encoding': 'UTF-8',
'mako.default_filters': [ 'decode.utf8', ],
}
however, the line with the 'default_filters' is deprecated according
to http://wiki.pylonshq.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5439551 ('
Why do I get a UnicodeDecodeError when using Mako?', which you should
probably give a quick glance). my understanding of this doc is that
probably i should simply leave out the default_filters line.
* i start each mako template with
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
as the very first line.
whether you use an ORM or work directly with a python DB API 2
compliant driver for your database, the texts you get out of the
database *should* be already unicode objects *if* they are
appropriately stored. however, in the general case a textual value in
a DB row can potentially be *any* sequence of bytes in *any* encoding,
which you may want to check.
hope this helps,
