'ascii' codec can't encode character

[Thiago Luiz Parolin]

Hi,

i have a model with 2 charfields for givenname, surname:

   nome = models.CharField(
        max_length=150,
        verbose_name=_("Nome"),
        default=''
    )
    sobrenome = models.CharField(
        max_length=150,
        verbose_name=_("Sobrenome"),
        default=''
    )

My modelForm does nothing, just defines a model at Meta with all fields.

My CreateView is just defined with all default values, not overriding anything.

When submitting the form, the server returns 500 if 'nome' or 'sobrenome' fields have accent letters like Á, é, í, ç. etc.

The error:

'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

with character depending on user input.

I am using sqlite for db and the pragma encoding returns utf8.

I don't know how to deal with it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, could you post the full traceback? And if some part of this traceback refers to your code, it would be a good idea to also show us that part of your code.

You'd actually want to handle UNICODE strings, not ASCII.
