For any text string that's not ASCII, you should specify it as Unicode.
(Actually, you should specify text as Unicode anyway.) For a literal
text string:
dateinscription = u"11 Août 2008"
If you're using exclusively Python 3, you will get Unicode text literals
by default; but I assume you're using Python 2 based on existing
discussion.
The principles of handling text in Python: Get it to internal Unicode
objects as soon as possible, handle it as Unicode for as long as
possible, and only encode it to some byte stream for output as late as
possible.
