Hello all.

I am exploring repoze.bfg and trying to get a feeling of the whole framework 
and past through the "so many things to know so little brain and time" wall :)
I read the book from cover to cover and wanted to take the opportunity to thank 
the people at Repoze for the documentation and the book.

I wanted to use formish to evaluate form creation and after much fight was able 
to display my form.
But when I try to put an unicode string in the description I have a  traceback 
at runtime like so
"
C:\Dev\Sources\TimeCards\lib\site-packages\chameleon-1.1.1-py2.5.egg\chameleon\core\template.py",
 line 180, in cook_and_render
    return func(econtext, rcontext)
  File "<string>", line 160, in render
  File "<string>", line 1, in __str__
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 
22: ordinal not in range(128)
"

My code is 
pointValue_field=schemaish.Integer(description=(u"mesure de la complexité 
relative de la fiche"),
                                       
validator=validator.All(validator.Range(min=0), validator.Required())
                                   )

of course removing the u"..." brings at runtime and expected
"File "<string>", line 185, in render
  File 
"C:\Dev\Sources\TimeCards\lib\site-packages\chameleon-1.1.1-py2.5.egg\chameleon\core\generation.py",
 line 42, in getvalue
    return ''.join(self)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 22: 
ordinal not in range(128)
"

all my files have the # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- stance at the top of course.

I know unicode is a very complex beast so I wanted to know if people here could 
point me at some basic obvious thing in my way of doing things or if some parts 
of bfg/formish were known to have trouble with unicode string, or if it is a 
formish problem entirely that I should bring to the formish developers.

I am willing to do tests as suggested.



thanks a lot for your time.
