[mod_python] StringField encoding?

But if I understand it correctly (I doubt it anyway). How are you going to store 
an UTF-8 string into a str without loosing information? Let's say, a japanese kanji?

If every string is converted to str (when assigning to StringField) instead of 
unicode it won't be possible to recover the original string. Please tell me I'm 
wrong.
