RadioSelect broken -- UnicodeDecodeError

test application:

templates/test_form.html:

{{ form }}

views.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^test_form/$', 'myTest.views.test_view' ),                                                                                                                         
)  

If you change the widget to Select, everything works OK, with the RadioSelect it fails on UnicodeDecode error.
Unfortunately I do not understand UNICODE in python (I am fairly new to the language) so I cannot fix it myself without guessing.

Same error here!
I came across the UnicodeDecodeError when I tried to fetch data for dynamic choices that contains non-ascii characters.
For now I solved it by encoding the special characters as html entities which is lame. Especially because the same choices work for widget.Select.

Please help
This bug renders widget.RadioSelect pointless for other languages than non-ascii languages and i18n'ed sites.

(In [4304]) Fixed #3266 -- newforms: Made RadioSelect accept funky characters. Thanks for reporting, Honza Kral

[nazar.v.ch@…]

This code still raises UnicodeDecodeError.

Changing

return self.__unicode__().encode(settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET)

to

return self.__unicode__()

in StrAndUnicode fixes this error.

Is this a duplicate of #3597?

[Gary Wilson <gary.wilson@…>]

Can anyone confirm that this has been fixed as of [4924]?

[Malcolm Tredinnick]

Yes, this is a dupe of #3597. The test included in that patch is basically the same as the example given here. I've improved that test slightly in [5226] (on the unicode branch only, but will eventually be merged back to trunk) to more or less match this example exactly and it still passes.
