Django无法处理非ascii符号

Question

We have a strange issue. If we use non-ascii symbols in Django, it displays them normally in the lists,

but if we will try to enter that item, it falls down with following error:

The sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8") helps, but there is an opinion that this is a wrong way ( Why should we NOT use sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8") in a py script? ). How can I solve it correctly? And why the lists displays properly? Any ideas appreciated!

Answer 1

In my case, replacing __ str__ method with __ unicode__ helped, but there are many factors at play here, as @bruno-desthuilliers said

# def __str__(self):
#     return str(self.id) +': ' + self.title

def __unicode__(self):
    return u'%s: %s' % (self.id, self.title)
