I'm facing an error rendering a template with some non ascii characters

#

Caught an exception while rendering: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

has anyone faced this before/know how to resolve it?

rozwell: it looks like the file uploads OK, but the server hangs before the request is completed, so the client doesn't know that it was successful

vIkSiT: fix your template tag to use unicode instead of str

oh damn

somehow I completely missed that part of the stack trace!

thanks SmileyChris :)

I have pasted a very short and simple inclusion tag at http://dpaste.com/62697/

Does anyone know if mysql works under jython+django?

is anyone able to explain how it might return empty data as 'node'?

I want to look at django_session instance in the shell. How do I import it?

I would not expect it to return anything empty under any circumstances

superdmp: shouldn't it be changed to always return a dict?

benc1: from django.contrib.session.models import Session

I am not sure what you mean SmileyChris

sometimes I don't want it to return anything

is it possible to specify templates in in urls.py without actually writing views?

superdmp: it's an inclusion tag - it always renders the template afaik

chrishartim: you can use the generic views

oh, so even if there's nothing to return it will return... nothing!

that's what must be happening

SmileyChris: thanks

SmileyChris: ImportError: No module named session.models

benc1: sessions, sorry

is anyone familiar with hachoir? when I import anything from any of the hachoir libraries I can't start manage.py runfcgi

benc1: then you'll want to run the get_decoded() method of the instance

SmileyChris: I worked around it by doing a check {{ if data }} in the template

thanks for your help

SmileyChris: what is get_decoded() ?

benc1: it unpickles the session dictionary

getting "Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb" when trying to use django with jython, I guess mysql is not an option w/ jython

SmileyChris: does get_decoded() for every model or just Session?

benc1: just session - it's a model method

Can someone spare some time to help me with using forms.MultipleChoiceField with widget forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple

SmileyChris: how can I see all the attributes of a model instance without knowing what they are?

SmileyChris: is it possible?
