I'd say it would be cleaner to let the .metadata specify its own encoding,
for instance with a
# coding: utf-8
at the top, and pasrse that in FSMetadata.

Yup, thanks, just figured out the problem, I was decoding improperly.
I've patched FSMetadata._nullParser to decode for me. I hardcoded
latin_1_decode, but I guess your suggestion is cleaner!
Thanks,

Hi Jean-François!

My app started throwing unicode errors, and I've tracked it down to the fact I
have accents in .metadata files.
This becomes a problem when a unicode string sneaks into the page to be
rendered, at which time StringIO.getvalue() bombs.
Normally I'd try to get rid of the unicode string, but in this case it seems
like it's coming from the i18n machinery (The result of a translation), and as
such, might not be very desirable for me to mess with it.
For example I have an FSImage with a title that in french contains an accented
character.
When calling the tag() method on the image, I end up with a <type 'str'> with
high bit characters.
The same page will contain i18n:translate results, which are unicode.
And voila.
I tried making the FSMetadata logic return a unicode string instead of a
regular string, but that didn't work (not too clear on why, the logging module
started throwing errors?).
I also tried using HTML entities such as é in there, but looks like HTML
title= or alt= doesn't render them?
Anyone have any ideas how I might get around this? I'm out of ideas
:(
I guess you are using CMF 2.0. In CMF 2.0 all data used in PageTemplates has to
be unicode (or ASCII). AFAICS you have to convert the value returned by tag().
CMFDefault utils has a 'decode' function that uses the default_charset of the
site to decode the string.
HTH,
Yuppie
