Interestinting situation. DataBase Error? Python. Django

In test server it is working. But production gives this traceback: what different? And what does that error mean?

Different is only in python versions. In test server it is 2.6.5 and production 2.5.2. How can I get rid of this error with out changing version?

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-10: ordinal not in range(128)

After some time thinking and testing. I notice that error shows only when i do开发者_StackOverflow社区 this:

med,created=RemMedia.objects.get_or_create(index=program.Id+50000000, defaults=fields)

After some more time of thinking end testing, i found the error. It is in dictionary fields. There is one variable which i get from BeautifulSoup the code looks like:

                        soup=BeautifulSoup(program.Description.encode('utf-8'))
                        name=soup.find('div',{'class':'head'})
                        fields=dict(
                               name=name.string,
                               description=program.Description.encode('utf-8'),
                               program_name=program.Name.encode('utf-8'),
                               program_date_time=program.RealDateTime,
                               topic_data_time=program.RealDateTime,
                               topic_tag='',
                               created=program.Updated,
                               media=media
                                     )

The problem is with variable name in fields dictionary.

Question remain : How to convert it so it will not gives an error?

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-10: ordinal not in range(128)

Do you have a character with an ascii value > 128? Probably an accented letter.

If the problem lies within the database, it's probably a setting. If it's within the python code, you may try placing this line at the top of your python file that deals with the string.

# coding:utf-8
