Encoding Error In Django On Heroku

I see some topics where people say to use this command to solve the problem heroku config:add LANG=en_US.UTF-8 I did it already but keep getting encoding problem, like this Unicod

Solution 1:

Old question, but I've found the same issue.

My solution: I've found that my heroku's python wax 2.x.

Eveything went OK as I told heroku to use python 3.x (as my dev environment).

To do that, just add a runtime.txt file at the root of you project, and choose the right runtime:

python-3.4.3

As seen here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-runtimes

Solution 2:

I had the same problem. The only thing that solved it to me was put in the beginning of wsgi.py:

reload(sys)     
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

Hope it helps someone!
