jinja2 - Python - 'ascii' codec can't decode byte

I'm using Python 2.6 and Jinja2 to create HTML reports. I provide the template with many results and the template loops through them and creates HTML tables

When calling template.render, I've suddenly started getting this error.

<td>{{result.result_str}}</td>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

The strange thing is, even if I set result.result_str to a simple ascii string like "abc" for every result, I am still seeing this error. I'm new to Jinja2 and Python and would appreciate any ideas on how I can go about investigating the problem to get to the root cause.

If you get an error with a string like "ABC", maybe the non-ASCII character is somewhere else. In the template source perhaps?

In any case, use Unicode strings throughout your application to avoid this kind of problems. If your data source provides you with byte strings, you get unicode strings with byte_string.decode('utf-8'), if the string is encoded in UTF-8. If your source is a file, use the StreamReader class in the codecs module.

If you're unsure about the difference between Unicode strings and regular strings, read this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html
