Unicode in unit tests

Hi all,

I try to use a utf8 string in a Django unit test and have included
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
but django-admin.py still complaints there is no encoding.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/basti/work/virtualenv/bin/django-admin.py", line 5, in <module>

test_module = __import__('.'.join(app_path + [TEST_MODULE]), {}, {}, TEST_MODULE)
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file tests.py on line 242, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

The string it's complaining about is also declared as unicode string
using u"" and I've tried to set TEST_CHARSET and TEST_DATABASE_CHARSET
to utf8, but still no luck.
Any hints on how to solve that?
TIA && have a nice day!
