When trying to render a Django template file in Google App Engine
from google.appengine.ext.webapp import template
templatepath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), 'template.html')
self.response.out.write (template.render( templatepath , template_values))
I come across the following error:
<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 17692: ordinal not in range(128)
args = ('ascii', '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Str...07/a-beautiful-method-to-find-peace-of-mind/ -->
', 17692, 17693, 'ordinal not in range(128)')
encoding = 'ascii'
end = 17693
message = ''
object = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Str...07/a-beautiful-method-to-find-peace-of-mind/ -->
reason = 'ordinal not in range(128)'
start = 17692
It seems that the underlying django template engine has assumed the "ascii" encoding, which should have been "utf-8". Anyone who knows what might have caused the trouble and how to solve it? Thanks.
