In that case you get a SyntaxError that complains specifically about the missing encoding declaration. Getting an error from the utf8 codec attempting to transform a bytestring to unicode implies you've got some bytestring data that is assumed to be encoded in utf8 but is in fact using some other encoding. Since this is happening when rendering a template, my guess would be the template file's encoding is something other than utf8. Django has a setting ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/settings/#file-charset) that controls what encoding is assumed for files read from disk, it defaults to utf8. Either fix the encoding of the template file to be utf8 or change that setting to match whatever encoding is being used for all your template files on disk.
