First: you're talking about utf8 encoding, but you've written latin1
encoding. Even though I do not know Mako templates, there should be no
problem in your snippet of code, if encoding is latin1, at least for
what I can understand.
Do not assume utf8 is a two byte encoding; utf8 is a variable length
encoding. Indeed,
'a' encoded as utf8 is 'a' (one byte)
'à' encode as utf8 is '\xc3\xa0' (two bytes).
Can you explain what you're trying to accomplish (rather than how
you're tryin to accomplish it) ?
Regards
Marco
