regex - Remove non-ASCII characters from a string using python / django -

-

i have string of html stored in database. unfortunately contains characters such ® want replace these characters html equivalent, either in db or using find replace in python / django code.

any suggestions on how can this?

you can use ascii characters first 128 ones, number of each character ord , strip if it's out of range

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-  def strip_non_ascii(string):     ''' returns string without non ascii characters'''     stripped = (c c in string if 0 < ord(c) < 127)     return ''.join(stripped)   test = u'éáé123456tgreáé@€' print test print strip_non_ascii(test)

result

éáé123456tgreáé@€ 123456tgre@

please note @ included because, well, after it's ascii character. if want strip particular subset (like numbers , uppercase , lowercase letters), can limit range looking @ ascii table

edited: after reading question again, maybe need escape html code, characters appears correctly once rendered. can use escape filter on templates.

(or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...
