The smallest change would be....

    def my_method(self):
        return self.string_containing_umlaute

....into....

    def my_method(self):
        return unicode(self.string_containing_umlaute,'latin-1')


Converting to unicode before output will work, but IMO its not the best 
approach. My recommendation is to always *store* language string as unicode 
type.
