Wie löst ein UnicodeDecodeError?

Bekomme ich eine seltsame Fehlermeldung, wenn Sie versuchen zu Lesen, die nicht-ascii-Zeichen aus dem datastore:

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

Die Schleife, die verwendet wird, um zu arbeiten, ist alltäglich:

{% for person in people %}
    <li id="{{ person.key.id()|makeid }}" class="level_1 inactive   leaf">
<a href="" style="" class=""><ins>&nbsp;</ins><table class="leaf_info"><tbody>  <tr><td class="name">{{ person.firstname }} {{ person.lastname}} {{person.key.id()|makeid}}</td><td class="level" title="New Distributor"><span class="level_parseable">1</span>1</td><td class="downlines">0</td><td class="cc_personal"><span class="cc_personal_parseable"></span>0</td><td class="cc_downlines"><span class="cc_downlines_parseable"></span>0</td><td class="cc_activity"><span class="cc_activity_parseable"></span>0</td><td class="cc_nonmanager"><span class="cc_nonmanager_parseable"></span>0</td><td class="cc_total"><span class="cc_total_parseable"></span>0</td></tr></tbody></table></a></li>
{% endfor %}

Was kann ich tun um diesen Fehler zu beheben?

Mein handler sieht so aus

class Myorg(NewBaseHandler):
    @user_required
    def get(self):
        user = auth_models.User.get_by_id(long(self.auth.get_user_by_session()['user_id']))
        people = auth_models.User.query(auth_models.User.sponsor == user.key).fetch()
        self.render_jinja('my_organization.html', people=people,
                              user=user)

Und meine Modell-definition ist das Benutzer-Modell von webapp2. Hier ist auch meine custom-filer makeid:

def makeid(n, countrycode="46"):
    countrycode = str(countrycode)
    n = str(n)
    return "%s%s%s" % (countrycode, '0'*(12-len(countrycode)-len(n)), n)

Update

Die Problemumgehung ist seltsam, ich habe gerade eine .decode('utf-8') was sollten Sie nicht tun müssen:

class UpdateHandler(NewBaseHandler):

    @user_required
    def get(self):
        user = \
            auth_models.User.get_by_id(long(self.auth.get_user_by_session()['user_id'
                ]))
        sponsor = None
        if user.sponsor:
            sponsor = user.sponsor.get()
        address = None
        if user.address:
            address = user.address.decode('utf-8')
        if user.city:
            city = user.city.decode('utf-8')
        self.render_jinja('details.html', city=city, user=user, address=address, sponsor=sponsor, form=UpdateForm(obj=user))

Gibt es eine Weise zu decodieren, die alle Variablen der Benutzer-Objekt auf einmal statt eins nach dem anderen?
