Re: Unicode/Non-ASCII characters in the admin throws exception

Sort of solved this issue myself; my solution was using Django 1.5c and Python 3.3. 

Allthough this means some of the reusable apps I was planning on using isn't ready for Python 3 I'll look into forking them and try to see if I can get them running myself. And if so send a patch to the maintainers. First up; Django debug toolbar :-)

This is a recurring problem for django users obviously by the amount of posts returned by google and I've had this problem in the past as well, but cannot remember how I got around it. Googling did'nt help either.

When I use Norweian characters like ØÆÅ in CharField-field in the django admin I get an exception when I click the add-button to register the new entry.
