Hi gabor, I've put up some patches to help with the unicode conversion of django. We have a site which is shortly going to production where we actually have to handle multiple unicode scripts including some which have characters that do not fall into iso-8859-1.
Since I'm pretty lazy and I'm not really interested in maintaining my own set of unicode patches against django forever - I'm *very* interested in helping with any effort to get Django to support unicode. Adrian - can we get that branch opened up soon? vic On 8/21/06, gabor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Adrian Holovaty wrote: > > On 8/8/06, gabor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> i think unicodizing django can be done in 4 easily separated steps/parts: > >> > >> 1. request/response > >> 2. templating-system > >> 3. database-system > >> 4.
