Unicode StructuredText Patch

StructuredText rendering hasn't worked since Zope 2.6.0 introduced Unicode ustrings. This is a patch valid for ISO8859-1 users.

StructuredText rendering hasn't worked since Zope 2.6.0 introduced Unicode ustrings.

We usually get an AttributeError: meta_type error.

Thanks to JDavid we got an answer, at least for former ISO8859-1 users, although you'd have to patch Zope :-( .

Could somebody else using a richer encoding confirm if it works in his system?

Instructions

Just edit this file:

        $ZOPE/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Var.py

Line 162:

    from types import StringType, UnicodeType

Line 405:

    if isinstance(v, StringType) or isinstance(v, UnicodeType): txt = v

Restart your Zope, be sure that you configure the right locale setting in your start script and Structured-Text with Unicode strings should be working fine!

We usually set our locale this way in the start script:

    exec /opt/zope/2.6.1b2/bin/python \
         /opt/zope/2.6.1b2/z2.py \
         -D -L "es_ES.ISO8859-1" "$@"
