Hello, I just upgraded from Zope 2.9.4 to Zope 2.10 and am running into the common type of error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 295: ordinal not in range(128) I've tracked it down to the fact that in Zope 2.10 it looks like the result of tag:replace tags (like the img/tag TAL), returns a unicode string: u'<img src="http://<host>/jf293/canada_wordmark.gif" alt="" title="" height="21" width="86" />' (In Zope 2.9.4 this was a normal string) This creates a problem because the PT is in ISO-8859-1 and contains french accents in non unicode strings, such as in the <meta> tags. <meta name="dc.creator" content="Gouvernement du Canada, Ressources Naturelles Canada, Secteur des sciences de la terre, Géomatique Canada - Centre canadien de télédétection, Division GéoAccès, Section de l'infrastructure de l'Atlas" /> Which looks like this by the time StringIO.getvalue() sees it: <meta name="dc.creator" content="Gouvernement du Canada, Ressources Naturelles Canada, Secteur des sciences de la terre, G\xe9omatique Canada - Centre canadien de t\xe9l\xe9d\xe9tection, Division G\xe9oAcc\xe8s, Section de l\'infrastructure de l\'Atlas" /> So I now end up with the UnicodeDecodeError :( How would I got about making sure that either my HTML ends up in unicode strings, or making sure the tal:replace (and possibly others?) don't use unicode strings? Both these things are probably rooted deep in the zope 2 or zope 3 code? My locale is set to en_CA and the default charset is iso-8859-1 ... Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
