Re: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Hello!

I got the same error when i tried to work with Cyrillic charset in
Python.
In my case it was pure Python problem.
Here is good explanation why it happened: http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html
and http://python.su/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6476 (rus)

In your case, most probably django crashs when it reads nonASCII
characters from DB.

Wadim.
