Pyramid supports a request factory. You can use this to decode the request.
def request_factory(environ):
req = pyramid.request.Request(environ)
return req.decode(charset='gbk')
config.set_request_factory(request_factory)
This means that the request passed around within pyramid will be using
the gbk charset. Failure to decode the request with this charset will
cause UnicodeDecodeError exceptions so you may want to add extra logic
to your request factory to handle these things.
