not enough. It all comes down to this:
>>> 'ç'.decode('ascii')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)
this is a little bit better:
>>> 'ç'.decode('ascii','ignore')
u''
(though information may be loss)
So, just to make it work, I converted all to strings using this simple
method:
def clean_enc(item):
return str(item.decode('ascii','ignore'))
I don't want to dramatize this issue but I'm using the default mail
mechanisms of web2py to mail and there was a loss of backward
compatibility from my previous code (which is not the real problem for
me in this case) and worse than that there were possible clients that
may have been denied from establishing contact threw my form. I think
we need to correct this so that this doesn't happen again.
