Answer 1

NB: the following is my best guess at what you are seeing based on your question. If I have guessed wrongly, the please update your post with more details - putting print statements throughout your code and adding the output to your post would be a good start.

The u prefix on a string indicates a Unicode string. It is not actually part of the contents of the string. If we create a string in the interpreter:

>>> name = u'Me'

and then request details of the string,

>>> name
u'Me'

then the u is shown as it is part of the information about the string, which is what we have requested. If we print the contents of the string

>>> print name
Me

then the u is not shown (just like the quotes aren't shown).

Using the interpreter to try and reproduce your problem, I created a new user with a Unicode string for a username:

>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> new_user = User()
>>> new_user.username = u'Me'
>>> new_user.save()

And as before, if we request the details about the string we see the u and the quotes, but if we print the contents of the string we don't:

>>> new_user.username
u'Me'
>>> print new_user.username
>>> Me

To further confirm the u was not stored, we can explore the database directly:

sqlite> select username from auth_user;
Me

Answer 2

you need to delete the "," at the end of each line so, before:

person.firstname = req.POST['firstname'],
person.midname   = req.POST['middleinitial'],
person.lastname  = req.POST['lastname'],

after

person.firstname = req.POST['firstname']
person.midname   = req.POST['middleinitial']
person.lastname  = req.POST['lastname']

Is there an easy way to check whether a phone number entered by the user includes country code and to validate that the number is correct?
