Python Programming Language :: Encoding problem with web application (Paste+Mako)


	Encoding problem with web application (Paste+Mako) Hi I have a problem with encoding non-ascii characters in a web application. The application uses Paste and Mako. The code is here: http://www.webudkast.dk/demo.txt The main points are: After getting some user generated input using paste.request.parse_formvars, how should this be correctly saved to file? How should this afterward be read from the file, and fed correctly into a Mako template? Thanks.

You have to know the encoding of user input and then you can use ``input_encoding`` and ``output_encoding`` parameters of ``Template``. Mako internally handles everything as Python unicode objects. For example: t = Template(filename="templ.mako", input_encoding="iso-8859-2", output_encoding="iso-8859-2") content = t.render(context) -- HTH, Rob - Hide quoted text - Rob Wolfe wrote: > You have to know the encoding of user input and then you > can use ``input_encoding`` and ``output_encoding`` parameters > of ``Template``.

Thanks for the help. /Martin
