issues with conversion in templates

I have a strange error that I was hoping someone could help
with. I
have a large project that I have incorporated a search
functionality
using swish-e. Everything works great until I go to render
it to a
template. On some debugging I get a variable that says it
has a
length, but no word count and it won't print to the
template. If I put
the variable directly through httpresponse it displays fine.
I figure
that it is some sort of unicode conversion error as Swish-e
doesn't
seem to output unicode. If I use python's unicode or
django's
force_unicode before the render_to_response, nothing
displays and no
HTML renders. I am confused and would really be interested
at any
ideas anyone might have. I am totally rasping at straws
right now.
Thanks in advance.

Seems .decode('cp1252') fixed everything.
