Uff, encoding is a very painful thing in programming. Ok so now comes last "layer" of the encoding: the webserver.
I now know how to handle encoding in a python app and in interactions with the db, but the last step is sending the content to the webserver. How should i encode pages? The encoding i choose has to be the same than the one i choose in the .htaccess file? Or maybe i can send content encoded how i like more to apache and it re-encodes in the right way all pages?
