440	[patch] maxlength incorrectly checked for international characters in utf-8	Maniac@…	Adrian Holovaty	"In django.core.formfields TextField.isValidLength checks length very naively:

if data and self.maxlength and len(data) > self.maxlength:

Since sane applications tend to use utf-8 for web output 'data' passed to this method is also in utf-8. This means that len(data) actually gives more bytes than characters for any non-ascii input."	defect	closed	contrib.admin		normal	fixed			Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
