Comment:
This is a documentation bug, rather than a code bug.
Anything you pass up as a link, including things returned from item_link()
in syndication classes and get_absolute_urls() on models, must already be
in the character set specified in RFC 1738 (the URL spec). So you must
already have done the necessary conversion from non-ASCII characters to
ASCII and called urllib.quote() if necessary. In the above example, you
are passing non-ASCII characters to something expecting content for a URL,
so it is failing.
We cannot perform the conversion to utf-8 and/or url quoting, because, for
example, the standard IRI -> URI conversion process is that you convert
first and then quote(), so we don't want to accidently do it twice (and
there are lots of other places where get_absolute_url() needs to already
be returning the correctly quoted string).
I will update the documentation.
