Comment:

 That patch is no good. As one of the markdown core devs I can confirm that
 1.6b does NOT have the necessary unicode support. In fact, my recollection
 is that 1.6b had a few nasty bugs and I don't recommend it at all (use
 1.6a or 1.7). The current implementation (in django) is correct and does
 not need changed.

 The problem seems to be that Debian (and by extension Ubuntu) had updated
 there python-markdown package from the markdown dev repo to somewhere
 between 1.6b and 1.7 and called it 1.6b1. This is not an official release
 of Python-Markdown and is not supported by the Python-Markdown team. I
 would suggest that a bug report be filed with Debian/Ubuntu asking them to
 update their package, or don't use their package and install Python-
 Markdown the way everyone else does.
