Description
Hello, I'm using Debian sid, python 2.4 (and 2.5), django 0.95.1, and mysql 5. The tables created have collation utf8-bin.
When I tried to open the admin zone, I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response
- response = callback(request, *callback_args, callback_kwargs)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/contrib/admin/views/decorators.py" in _checklogin
- if request.user.is_authenticated() and request.user.is_staff:

- self._session_cache = s.get_decoded()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/contrib/sessions/models.py" in get_decoded
- encoded_data = base64.decodestring(self.session_data)
TypeError at /admin/
a2b_base64() argument 1 must be string or read-only character buffer, not array.array
I solved it changing the collation of the field session_data in the django_session table from utf8-bin to latin1_general_ci.
There is a bug using utf8-bin in that field.
Thank you.
