You probably want to use UTF-16 or UTF-8 on both sides of the socket.
See http://www.python.org/moin/Unicode for more information.
So, we have a Unicode string...
>>> mystring=u'eggs and ham'
>>> mystring
u'eggs and ham'
Now, we want to send it over:
>>> to_send=mystring.encode('utf-8')
>>> to_send
'eggs and ham'
It's encoded in UTF-8 now.
On the other side, (result=to_send,) we decode:
>>> result=received.decode('utf-8')
>>> result
u'eggs and ham'
You have transfered a unicode string. {:)}=
