I see the problem. It is caused by the str() calls.
Can you try to remove the str() call in line 285 of 
TextIndex.py ?

I created a folder, containing 
  a catalog with 
    a Vocabulary with 
      a unicode splitter.

And a Script that returns some Unicode string. 
(u'\xfe \x2031 Huhu') named PrincipiaSearchSource

Indexing everything in that folder returns:

Error Type: UnicodeError
Error Value: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

Traceback (innermost last):

UnicodeError: (see above)




I know that it is possible to work around using _encoding
and UTF-8, but I would prefer to pass my unicode without
encoding and decoding.

The UnicodeSplitter should be able to index UnicodeStrings, though? The workaround you describe works, as described below.

Are you using the UnicodeSplitter ? If you have different encoding
than ASCII either change the default encoding in site.py or
set <index>_encoding to the encoding of the document.

index_object() of TextIndex.py raises a 
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
for strings containing actually non-ASCII unicode,
because it applies str() on all input.

Workaround: Use xxx_encoding to pass unicode 
in an encoding into the TextIndex.
