#16737 closed Bug (fixed)

inspectdb does not handle non-ascii column names correctly

Description

When a database I am inspecting has a columnname of "TamañoFuente", inspectdb fails as it is unable to write "\xf1" as a valid ascii character.

It probably requires a proper #encoding: header, and some sort of logic to make proper python identifiers out of such names.

Non-ASCII identifiers are only supported by Python 3, so we'll have to convert the column name to ASCII.

To fix this, we have to:

  • make sure inspectdb writes the file in utf-8
  • add # coding: utf-8 at the top of the file
  • convert the column name to an ASCII field name, for instance with: unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', column_name).encode('ascii', 'ignore')
  • set db_column on the field

The latest patch in #12460 addresses this issue.

Current code is outputting the db_column name with the \x escape notation (for ex. db_column='tama\xf1o'), due to the repr() call on the value. Is this acceptable?
