unicode problem

Hello all,

I use Pylons 0.9.6 with SQLAlchemy 0.4.1 and Genshi 0.4.4

I have a strange unicode dilemma ... :
- either I set sqlalchemy.convert_unicode = true in my
configuration
file and url_for fails with : exceptions.Exception: url_for
can only
return a string or None, got unicode instead:
/ias/pics/published.png
- either I don't set sqlalchemy.convert_unicode and then
Genshi fails
with : exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't
decode byte
0xc3 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

Any idea how could I resolve this (other than str()
everything in my
template files ..) ? 

Thanks,
Julien

Go with the first option, and can you provide more details
on how  
you're calling url_for? Ensuring you're calling url_for
properly, and  
keeping everything unicode where possible is the best
solution.
