[ZPT] Working with encoded values in more recent versions of ZPT

[Charlie Clark]

Hi,

I've noticed in Zope 2.10 that the behaviour of ZPT with regard to encoded  
values returned by a database has changed which leads to errors when using  
string: and non-ascii characters.

ie.

<tal:content tal:content="string: ${result/firstname} ${result/surname}"  
/> will raise UnicodeDecodeError
for result = {'firstname':'charlie', 'surname':'Düsseldorf'}
but not if Python string formatting is used
<tal:content tal:content="python: '%s %s' % (result['firstname'],  
result['surname'])" />

Is this the only workaround apart from decoding all return values?

Charlie
