I submitted a ticket to address this issue.

RHH
"""
Currently, using the Python SWIG bindings for GDAL 1.9.0,
feature.SetField(0, u'xxx')
feature.SetField(0, 'Спасибо'.decode('utf-8'))
raise the following exception
NotImplementedError: Wrong number of arguments for overloaded
function 'Feature_SetField'
Meanwhile, feature.SetField2() forcibly converts the string to ascii
using str().
Ideally,
SetField() should accept native unicode
SetField2() should accept native unicode
GetField() should return native unicode
GetFieldAsString() should return native unicode
