To use non-ascii characters, you need prefix the string literal with a
'u'. For example:
u"This is a Unicode string"
Alternatively, you can write out an 8-bit string and then explicitly
decode it into Unicode:
unicode("This is UTF-8", "utf-8")
Replacing the r's with u's in the strings in your example solves the
problem for me on 0.91.2. (I wasn't able to test 0.90.1 -- that still
may have internal problems handling Unicode strings in some backends.)
Cheers,
