If you are still using this example, then it's not too surprising you are seeing this error. Bytestrings (normal Python strings) must use UTF-8 encoding when passed to Django. Alternatively, you can use Unicode strings. What you can't do is pass in some arbitrarily encoded sequence of bytes and hope Django can guess the encoding. It can't do that. I can't even guess what byte encoding you are using in the above. I thought it might be cp-1252, but \x94 is closing double quotes there, not a right quote (that would be \x92). In any case, it's not UTF-8, so you are going to have problems. Read the section on string handling in docs/unicode.txt (or http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/unicode/#general-string-handling ) for more details.
