Question

There is something wrong the way with I treat unicode in python. In Django, part of my model and code is shown below.

class MyTest(models.Model):
    address = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s,%s' % (self.address, self.city)

I load these values through csv.

    records = csv.DictReader(self.cleaned_data["file"])
        for line in records:
            mt = MyTest()
            mt.address=line['ADDRESS'],
            mt.city=line['CITY'],
            ....
            mt.save()
            print line['ADDRESS']
            print mt.address


70 Mall Rd
('70 Mall Rd',)

The problem, in admin template all my values has the brackets around it. Like

('LARGO',), ('FL',),

what could be wrong.

thanks.

Answer 1

It’s tuples with one element, because you add comma in line mt.address=line['ADDRESS'], and mt.city=line['CITY'],

For example:

>>> True,
(True,)
>>> True
True
