UnicodeDecodeError with SelectDateWidget

[boobsd@…]

My form:

class EditProfileForm(forms.Form):
    birthday = forms.DateField(widget=SelectDateWidget(years=range(1968, 1988)), label=_('Birthday'))

If USE_I18N = True in settings, I receive UnicodeDecodeError:

Request Method: GET
Exception Type: UnicodeDecodeError
Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/newforms/widgets.py in render, line 173

(Added wiki formatting to description.)

Without a bit more information, it isn't really possible to debug this. I suspect it's probably one of the problems that has been fixed on the Unicode branch. Please cut-and-paste the full traceback: find the link on the Debug screen that says "cut and paste version" and click it, then paste the results into a comment (remember to wrap them in {{{ and }}} markers to get the wiki formatting right).

Also, which locale is in effect when this error occurs?

[boobsd@…]

This error occurs with any locale, except for 'en' (for example: 'ru', 'uk', 'de')

I test this ticket after merging unicode branch. I used this form:

from django import newforms as forms
from django.newforms.extras.widgets import SelectDateWidget

class EditProfileForm(forms.Form):
    birthday = forms.DateField(widget=SelectDateWidget(years=range(1968, 1988)), label=_('Birthday'))

I test this with languages es-es and ru-ru. It works for me.
