Hi,

I'm working on the Django adapter again, and have run into a snag. I think the Python MonetDB wrapper may need a new method, but before building a patch I wanted to share the idea and get your feedback.

The issue is this: Django uses the field type SafeUnicode. Monetizer doesn't have a mapping for this, and thus raises a ProgrammerError exception. (This is unicode that is safe to disply on an HTML page, and is used for all slug fields, which are common in Django.)

The SQLite adapter handles this via a register_adapter method on the Database object. PostgreSQL uses psycopg2.extensions.register_adapter().

MySQL Python adapter exposes a encoders() method on the connection object.

It seems the cleanest solution would be to mimic SQLite (if you want this for one connection, you most likely want it for all connections), and be able to do something like this:

Database.register_adapter( type(SafeUnicode), lambda s:unicode(s) )

But it wasn't clear to me how to implement this. Somehow that call needs to make it into Montizer mapping dictionary.

Thanks,

Mark
