It's not just once that I stumbled upon this error when trying to work with strings that have special characters (é, etx.):
- UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
Here's what I found to fix this:
- from django.utils.encoding import force_unicode
- html = force_unicode(str)
- html = html.encode('ascii', 'xmlcharrefreplace')
This way, the special characters are transformed in html friendly version (é etx.).
