I'm currently using Pylons 0.9.5 with Python 2.4
I solved the Unicode problems with Mako, so let me tell you what I did
(for those that have searched countless forums as I have done). Then
I'll mention what seems to be a hack that I would like to get cleared
up....
How to get unicode working with Pylons+Mako:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
config/environment.py:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[...snippet below...]
# Add your own template options config options here, note that all
config options will override
# any Pylons config options
tmpl_options['mako.imports'] = ['from webhelpers import auto_link
as l',
'from webhelpers import
simple_format as s',
'from rosetta.lib import
myfilters',
'from paste.deploy import CONFIG']
# ~~~~BELOW SOLVES THE UNICODE PROBLEM FOR TEMPLATES ~~~~
# Give support for Unicode in Mako templating system
# from: http://wiki.pylonshq.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5439551
tmpl_options['mako.input_encoding'] = 'utf-8'
tmpl_options['mako.output_encoding'] = 'utf-8'
# convert request.params to Unicode automatically
# Pylons 0.9.6 does this automatically, but we are in 0.9.5 still
so it must be explicit
#return pylons.config.Config(tmpl_options, map, paths)
# Return our loaded config object
return pylons.config.Config(tmpl_options, map, paths,
request_settings=dict(charset='utf-8', errors='replace'))
--------------------------------------------------------------------
models/__init__.py:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[...snippet below...]
def init_model(app_conf):
"""
Setup the model.
This gets called by lib.app_globals
"""
print "Initializing model."
uri = app_conf['sqlalchemy.default.dburi']
# ~~~~BELOW SOLVES THE UNICODE PROBLEM FOR YOUR MODEL ~~~~
# use: encoding='utf-8', convert_unicode=True to convert all
unicode at the database level so its unicode going into python/mako
engine = create_engine(uri, pool_recycle=14400, echo_pool=True,
encoding='utf-8', convert_unicode=True)
meta.connect(engine)
meta.engine.echo = asbool(app_conf.get('sqlalchemy.default.echo',
'false'))
That's it!!
Ok to the ^^^QUESTION^^^...
I have unicode working great, but for some reason when using the Auth
plugin and the webhelpers url_for method I still need to explicitly
encode the variable as utf-8. This seems a bit hacky though. Anyone
else get into a similar situation and/or have a more elegant solution
(or am I just doing something wrong here)?
Here's a snippet of the code I'm using for that:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
snippet for Auth problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------
def signin_method(self):
uname = request.params.get('username',
'').strip().encode('utf-8', 'replace') <----- throws a
UnicodeDecodeError if not first doing an encode
request.environ['paste.auth_tkt.set_user'](uname)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
url_for problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------
${ h.url_for('page', nickname=notebook.user.nickname,
notebook_id=notebook.book_id, highlight = c.query.encode('utf-8',
'replace')
where highlight becomes a param so the url would look something like:
/users/me/1/?highlight=úñicode_phrase
thanks!
