setattr(object, unicode that can't be encoded to ascii, value) did not work there. So instead, force encoding as utf8 which hopefully everyone out there uses.

In my example, I had "Dänemark" (german for Denmark) as a choice. The problem is the line
in
forms.py. Ifkis non-ascii unicode, thenstrwill fail. My proposed solution is to always try to interpretkas unicode and then encode toutf-8, if Python 2 is used. This seems to work as intended (NoAttributeErroris raised) and while this admittetly also does not cover all use cases, it will work for most users.
