Empty Set using fitler startswith
Here's my model:
class Student(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
student_id = models.IntegerField()
grade = models.IntegerField()
I imported the data from Excel. I want to use Student.object.filter(name___istartswith = "Some String" ) , but I can't because every Student.name instance as "xa0" before it.
I've tried:
.filter(name___contains= "Some String") works (but is not what I need)
Replacing "xa0" with s.name.replace("xa0",'') did...nothing. The "xa0" returned!
.filter(name___istartswith = u"Some String")
Every time I run Student.objects.filter(name__istarts with = "Some String") an empty set is returned.
I'm sure it's something dumb, but what am I doing wrong? (Running python 3.5)

Maybe a dumb question ... Wouldn't a better approach be to serialize/normalize the data before saving it to Student? That way you don't have to do this post-processing?
