Hi Christoph,
If you use the latest AuthKit 0.4 and specify:
form_charset=UTF-8
to the authenticate middleware you should find your unicode strings work
OK. You'll need to make sure your Python source files are properly
encoded though so the users information correctly picks up the unicode
usernames - I'm not sure whether specifying them directly in the paste
config file will work for unicode for example.
Cheers,
James
