Django 'ascii' codec can't encode character -


in django want use simple template tag truncate data.

this have far:

@register.filter(name='truncate_simple') def truncate_char_to_space(value, arg):     """     truncates string after given length.     """     data = str(value)     if len(value) < arg:         return data      if data.find(' ', arg, arg+5) == -1:         return data[:arg] + '...'     else:         return data[:arg] + data[arg:data.find(' ', arg)] + '...'

but when use following error:

{{ item.content|truncate_simple:5  }}

error:

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 84: ordinal not in range(128)

error on line starting data = str(value)

why?

try use unicode() convert value (instead of str()):

data = unicode(value)

data.table making a copy of table in R -

i doing this: myfun <- function(inputvar_vec){ # inputvar_vec input vector # # result = output vector return(result) } dt[, result := lapply(.sd, myfun), = byvar, .sdcols = inputvar] i getting following warning: warning message: `in `[.data.table`(df1, , `:=`(prop, lapply(.sd, propeventinlastk)), : invalid .internal.selfref detected , fixed taking copy of whole table, := can add new column reference. @ earlier point, data.table has been copied r (or been created manually using structure() or similar). (and more stuff) .... ` my guess because stacking result vectors (after operation), copy being made? can suggest method remove warning? have done using apply functions , thought should extendable here too. my other question is: can pass chunk of rows data frame (subsetted using statement), , call function myfun operate on that? adding example requested # generate data n = 10000 default=na value = 1 df = data.table(id = sample(1:5000, n, replace=true), ...
