UnicodeDecodeError when chameleon.zpt contains Chinese character

[Geo]

Hi forks,

I'm getting "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)" when I include Chinese character in the chameleon template. I'm using the newest pyramid 1.3 with python2.7. Any help?

Thanks

Found the solution, just make sure you are always using the unicode string something like u'xxxxx'.

You need to specify an encoding if you want to include encoded
<str>'s, e.g. "utf-8".

It's an argument to the template renderer factory.
