Umlauts in Python XML-RPC Scripts
Document Actions
Python needs to be tweaked to allow Umlauts ...
Submitted in XML-RPC List by Dr. Martin Korff, thanks!
For those who read the previous mails on this topic, here the summary
- which worked for me .
Goal: reading, changing, and updating of persons and enterprise
involving non-ascii (latin-1) data
using python and the xmlrpclib.py
- Python site configuration: In /usr/lib/python2.3/site.py change encoding = "ascii" to encoding = "utf-8"
- The relevant lines from the top level script
myupdate.pyare the following: #!/usr/bin/env python # -- coding: utf-8 -- - Any new string to be assigned, edited in a
iso-8859-1encoding editor should be declared as python-unicode-string, e.g.newattrvalue = u'newvaluewithaccents'
Finally it should be mentioned that a custom xmlrpclib.py is needed not only for python2.2 but also for python2.3 since HTTP-Authentication still hasn't made it into the standard library.
