I disagree. I think this (here) is a good place to ask. I am a beginner in Django, but I am advanced in Python. The truth is that os.listdir() with unicode argument should return unicode strings (and it really does when executed at console -- which is also the case of running local server through manage.py). This is likely the problem of Apache or something related, and asking here is closer to the source than asking in Python groups.
