The contents of a Django HttpRequest.GET or HttpRequest.POST are
automatically decoded to Unicode for you, using the encoding specified
in HttpRequest.encoding.

I realise someone has now answered your question -- but *please* don't use django-developers as "second tier" technical support. Django-dev is for discussing the development of Django itself, not for general usage queries. You should only be posting to django-dev if you want to get involved in the development of Django itself.

It's unfortunate that nobody answered your question on django-users, but this is a volunteer community -- sometimes that means you're not going to get a response. All I can suggest is that you wait, try rephrasing your question, or try another forum -- e.g. IRC.

Yours,

Russell: Sorry, you're right. I won't do it again. Do you want me to delete this post?

Ian. Thank you very much. I found what was causing my bug. I've got Ukranian users and for some reason the request.encoding value was not set, so I'll digg a little bit more.

Thanks guys. You rock.
