[SQLObject] Problems with unicode

[Felix <fel...@te...>]

Hi !! what happens here ??

class Table(SQLObject):
	class sqlmeta:
		fromDatabase=3DTrue

        name =3D StringCol()

Now, This works:
	var =3D '=F1'
	Table(name=3Dvar)

But this doesn't works:
	var =3D u'=F1'
	Table(name=3Dvar)

with this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SQLObject-0.7.0-py2.4.egg/sqlobjec=

    return value.encode("ascii")
