what for to hardcode ? python / web2py does everything transparently >>> a=['un','deux','été','maçon'] >>> a ['un', 'deux', '\xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9', 'ma\xc3\xa7on'] >>> 'été' in a True >>> print a[3] maçon
Isn't it that python does the encode / decode transparently : from 'été' to '\xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9' and back to 'été' for screen output I can also do a database lookup based on the term 'été' so I don't understand what else should be encoded or decoded ? It's true though I have little knowledge of Unicode anyway thanks for the clarifications -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
