= Request - Entry #1 by tnally on Nov 29, 2006 2:48 pm

I'm 100% new to Zope.  A complete Zope newbie.  
When serving a web page, we get an error that involves the fetching and display of a document to the browser.  Evidently, it's choking on some unicode when it's completely expecting plain ascii.  

I'm assuming it's /usr/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/Products/PageTemplates/PageTemplate.py that's causing the problem as the data isn't somehow massaged correctly before processing arrives at /usr/lib/python2.3/StringIO.py line 203.

Do I need to post more information?  Tell me .. and I'll get it.

If this comes down to a patch, I've no idea how-to apply a patch once I get my grubby mits upon the patch.  So, I'll need a bit of help with that as well.

If I've posted this in the wrong place.. please forgive me and point me to the right place that I might ask the proper ones to help me.

Thanks a lot .. and thanks in advance

Tyler
