Comment:
I'm running into this as well. It stems from the fact that cStringIO does
not properly support unicode. The following code demonstrates the
difference between StringIO and cStringIO:
{{{
>>> import StringIO
>>> import cStringIO
>>> StringIO.StringIO(u'test').read()
u'test'
>>> cStringIO.StringIO(u'test').read()
't\x00e\x00s\x00t\x00'
}}}
This behavior has been discussed also in
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7990.
I've attached a patch that changes the import such that it doesn't import
cStringIO.
