Is Django double encoding a Unicode (utf-8?) string?

This does seem like a case of double-encoding; I don't have much experience with Python, but try adjusting the MySQL connection settings as per the advice at http://tahpot.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysql-and-python-and-unicode.html.

I added set names utf8 to my php data insertion sequence, and now in a Python shell the feared ndash shows up as \x96. This renders correctly when read and output through Django.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
