#76 DNS lookup error when e-mail address is unicode
I'm using Python 2.4, but it happens with python 2.5 also. pydns is 2.3.3, formencode is version 1.2.2.
Reproducing test case:
>>> import formencode.validators
>>> e = formencode.validators.Email(resolve_domain=True)
>>> e.to_python(u'foo@example.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Is there any reason that this patch was not applied? http://pythonpaste.org/archives/message/20081015.191555.f6252ba5.en.html
The patch in http://pythonpaste.org/archives/message/20081015.191555.f6252ba5.en.html
should be reviewed, maybe also add the new allow_idna parameter from the URL validator,
