In the unicode() call you must specify the encoding used, to decode
the string to a unicode one. Or pass it a unicode string.
example unicode(s,'utf-8')
The Django code uses the default encoding string ascii.
Or make a list of objects with a __unicode__() method that returns the
unicode version of the string.
You could build your choices list with unicode strings
_CHOICES_FORMATION = (
unicode('Administração','latin_1'),
unicode('Design Gráfico','latin_1'),
unicode('Jornalismo','latin_1'),
unicode('Marketing','latin_1'),
unicode('Outras','latin_1'),
)
Or use the encoding name that is used to edit the file.
