Django - 使用特殊表达式的 RegexValidator

Question

How do I implement special expressions in RegexValidator ?

forms.py:

class MyRegistrationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    alphanumeric = RegexValidator('^[A-Za-z]+$', 'Only alphabetic')
    first_name = forms.CharField(max_length = 20, validators=[alphanumeric])
    last_name = forms.CharField(max_length = 20, validators=[alphanumeric])

I would like to use: áàäéèëíìïóòöúùüñÁÀÄÉÈËÍÌÏÓÒÖÚÙÜÑ as well but I get a "Non-ASCII character" error. Is there any other way to use it?

You can use the \\w specifier, but since RegexValidator does not enable the re.UNICODE flag, you might need something like this:

import re
class MyRegistrationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    re_alphanumeric = re.compile('^\w+$', re.UNICODE)
    alphanumeric = RegexValidator(re_alphanumeric, 'Only alphabetic')
    ...

Update: If you want to exclude numeric characters, use

import re
class MyRegistrationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    re_alpha = re.compile('[^\W\d_]+$', re.UNICODE)
    alpha = RegexValidator(re_alpha, 'Only alphabetic')
    ...
