Description

I am using SVN checkout 8972 of Django with Python 2.3.4 and mod_python . In one of my models http://dpaste.com/hold/76255/ I have an inline model named StandardOptionsInline.

When I add special characters like ® (Registered Trademark Symbol) to the inlined model StandardOptionsInline I get the following error:

UnicodeDecodeError - 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) http://dpaste.com/hold/76259/.

However, if I edit the model that the inline model is based off of StandardOptions directly using the Admin interface, I can add fields with special characters like ®.

I have found that if I use Python 2.5 and the Django development server this issue does not occur. My solution will be upgrading to Python 2.5.

Thanks,

Josh

Has patch: set
Version: 1.01.0-beta-1

This is yet another UnicodeDecode issue caused by lack of force_unicode encapsulation.
As explained here:

There is also a Python 2.3 issue here (a bug in 2.3): u'%s' % foo should call
foo.__unicode__, if it exists. But in 2.3, it calls foo.__str__ always. So we
need to write this as u'%s' % unicode(foo).

Changed the admin_options patch a to only encapsulate the model object. I is not necessary to encapsulate unicode strings.

I will remember to only add one patch for the tests and fix next time :).
