-All text within python code should be of type 'unicode'.

-    >>> s = 'foo'
-    >>> s
-    'foo'
-    >>> type(s)

-Transitions between internal unicode and external strings should always

-All external text that is not explicitly encoded (database storage,
-commandline arguments, etc.) should be presumed to be encoded as utf-8.
