If my understanding is correct, Python has an internal string
representation which you can reveal:
a = 'hi'
b = unicode(a)
print type(a)
print type(b)
but which you aren't really concerned with. To handle input, just use
the decode() function and to handle output, use encode().
I think that the problem is not within python but with the environment.
What's the output of "locale" as your user and as the user owning the
crontab?
