Django filename with cyrillic?

Question

Django

Actually the problem is, I can’t upload a file containing Cyrillic in the name through the admin panel, I do this:

def make_upload_path(instance, filename):
    return u'instructions/%s' % smart_str(filename)

class File(models.Model):
    ...
    file = models.FileField(upload_to=make_upload_path)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

I also tried smart_unicode
Tell me what I'm doing wrong?
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(
128
)
error \u043a\u0446\u0438\u044f_eng_01_INFO.doc'

Answer 1

In general, probably the most correct option would be:
1. Leave

def make_upload_path(instance, filename):
    return u'instructions/%s' % filename

2. Fix the locale, because in an eight-bit locale, saving arbitrary Unicode names will not work. Who sets this locale - I don’t know, I would look at gunicorn’s launch scripts

Answer 2

Somewhere he encodes your unicode name in ascii, feed him a regular string:

def make_upload_path(instance, filename):
    return (u'instructions/%s' % filename).encode('utf-8')

If under Windows look mime with Cyrillic stackoverflow.com/questions/4237898/unicodedecodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-decode-byte-0xe0-in-position-0-ordinal

Answer 4

It becomes interesting why it does not start from the config /etc/supervisor/conf.d/transactions.conf
/home/user/www/transactions/env/bin/python /home/user/www/transactions/manage.py run_gunicorn -- bind=localhost:8000 --log-file /home/user/www/transactions/logs/gunicorn_error.log
and if you just execute this line, then everything is ok. but it won’t work there, you need it to start itself through the supervisor (installed)
