So this is the value that the string has right at the moment the
exception occurs? Can you paste the traceback you see, please (and
preferably the value of 'sql' and 'params' at that point as well).
I'm a bit in the dark about what is happening right now, since
subsituting a UTF-8 string into a Python string should work easily.
>>> s = unicode('Djang\xc3\xa9', 'utf-8')
>>> print "update foo set blah = '%s'" % s
update foo set blah = 'Djangé'
is an example of what should be happening. I suspect there is something
else important about what you are doing. Not accusing you of
deliberately misleading or anything -- I have no idea what the important
thing is yet, either.
