Hello,
I've just run into a snag and I'm wondering if anybody might be able
to point me towards a solution.
Normally, I get data from a submitted form like this:
my_string = str(Request("formstring"))
which is great until formstring contains a non ascii character. When
it does I get a UnicodeEncodeError (i.e ascii codec .... ordinal out
of range).
I thought I would be able to do
my_string = unicode(Request("formstring"),"ISO-8859-1")
But i get:
coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, instance found.
I'm guessing (and I mean guessing) this is because the CDispatch
object doesn't have a __unicode__ function.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? Other than modifying the
Python win32 source is there a way to solve this?
Any help/pointers/shouts that I'm being stupid greatfully recieved.
Cheers,
Emlyn.
