Comment:
The correct fix here is to set up the environment for your running code so
that unicode can be passed to the file system functions. Django assuming
utf-8 is just wrong; some file systems do not use that encoding and thus
Django assuming that encoding for uploaded files quietly corrupts file
names on those systems. That's worse than a loud error. There is some doc
on how to set up the environment for Apache here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modpython/#if-you-
get-a-unicodeencodeerror. That doc does belong in a more prominent place,
not buried in a section on a deployment method that is no longer the
recommended one, but fixing the doc should be the subject of a different
ticket.
