unicode gives me nightmares.
Taking django out of the picture for a moment:
>>> unicode('foo', 'utf-8')
u'foo'
>>> unicode(u'foo', 'utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
So I would assume when you run it inside django you're already using a
unicode string. Do you need to pass the encoding argument ('utf-8') to
unicode?
