Guys, I'm in trouble. I'm using the django-tagging application with a Swedish news application. It generally works, but there's one big problem which has taken me forever to solve.
I've concluded that the issue lies in the http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tagging/models.py file. If you look at the __unicode__ method all the way down in the bottom, it refers to self.object and self.tag. The self.object in my case is an Article object which __unicode__ method returns the the title of the Article in a u'%s' % (self.title) format. The issue is that when this title includes "special" characters (åäö), it breaks in the admin and gives me an error which looks like this: DjangoUnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128). You passed in <TaggedItem: [Bad Unicode data]> (<class 'tagging.models.TaggedItem'>) Another strange thing is that it works on my local machine, but not on the live server. The local server runs Python 2.5, whereas the live goes for 2.3. I was suspecting that it had something to do with the Python encoding settings, but everything except for this line works. When I remove the åäö from the titles it works, or if I remove self.object from the Unicode method as well. I'm not too experienced with encodings, but I tried something that I hope could help someone help me with this issue ;) In my Python console locally: >>> s = u'ä' >>> s u'\xe4' And on my live server: >>> s = u'ä' >>> s u'\xc3\xa4' I don't know if that helps anyone, but I sure hope so.
