No. The posted traceback clearly shows where the error is occurring and it is nowhere in Django. As I posted earlier it looks like a bug in the Python library. I'd also guess it is new with Python 2.7 since I cannot recall seeing this problem posted before Python 2.7 came out. The right place to pursue this particular problem is in the Python bug tracker -- for all I know it has already been noted and fixed, I have not attempted to track it down from that side.

Django fully supports non-ASCII data in the database, in template files, dynamically generated by application code. (Your application, of course, must ALSO be coded to properly handled non-ASCII data.)

Posting that Django probably crashed when reading non-ASCII data from the database is misleading and in this case where the traceback was posted flat-out wrong.
