Description

I got UnicodeEncodeError when I try to search with "icontains" and unicode string.

In [26]: Product.objects.filter(name=unicode('Fantasia - ķiršu','utf-8'))
Out[26]: [<Product: Fantasia - ķiršu>]

In [27]: Product.objects.filter(name__icontains=unicode('Fantasia - ķiršu','utf-8'))

Patch replaces the str() function with unicode() function in django/db/models/fields/init.py at 25 line.

Gaicha, currently you should not use unicode strings within the database API. It is planned to support this in the future, but as long as this has not happened, you'll run into all sorts of problems. Better use utf8-encoded bytestrings.
