Problem with encoding (INSERT web2py)

[Luciano Fain]

Dear Team

I have a string with an special charater on it:  'SECRETARÍA XXX'

When i try to do an insert on DB

id_encabezado = db.encabezado.insert(tipo_reg = 0,nombre_cliente = 'SECRETARÍA' )

got the following error:

<faultstring>'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 942: ordinal not in range(128)</faultstring>

I have tried:

nombre_cliente = unicode ('SECRETARÍA')

nombre_cliente = ('SECRETARÍA').encode('utf-8)

and nothing seems to work

Can you try?

nombre_cliente = u'SECRETARÍA'

What is your connection string? which python version?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

... and can you show us the complete traceback?

[Luciano Fain]

I installed psycopg2 and all work fine now. Thanks anyway Massimo
