gae python ascii编解码器无法解码字节

Question

When I run my application, which finds links, checks if they exist in the database, and adds them to the database, I get an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 57: ordinal not in range(128)

My code for by_name is:

def by_name(cls, name):
    u = Articles.all().filter("name =", name).get()
    return u

Answer 1

As the last line of the stack trace shows, it's trying to convert the value to unicode first and then encoding it as utf-8. However, the (implicit) conversion is using ascii, which is not enough for your string. You could try converting it to unicode yourself, using the right encoding, before passing it to filter . Example:

u = Articles.all().filter("name =", name.decode('utf-8')).get()

(remember that you need to provide the correct encoding; if name is not a UTF-8 string, but a Cp1252, ISO-Latin or something else, you need to specify that in the decode call)
