Comment (by aaugustin):
(I wrote this before reading Anssi's comment.)
Many developers would be surprised if Django automatically altered the
names of uploaded files, and it would be backwards incompatible, so we
won't do that.
Should we offer this feature as an option? "Normalizing" file names is
easy -- the snippet you pasted above shows how to do it -- but it's also a
matter of taste. For instance, one could prefer:
{{{
data.name = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', data.name).encode('ascii',
'ignore')
}}}
Therefore, I'm reluctant to provide this feature in Django.

Still, I'm surprised that you got an `UnicodeEncodeError`. It may reveal a
bug in Django.
I suppose you already set
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/deployment/modpython/#if-you-
get-a-unicodeencodeerror LANG and LC_ALL] correctly?
Can you provide a link to the django-users discussion?
