[mod_python] mod_python and unicode

Hi,

I suppose you did it as an example, but if you've got a file encoded
in UTF-8, you don't need to decode it and reencode it. Just send the
bytes to the client, making sure that the Content-Type header mentions
that UTF-8 is used :

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    req.sendfile(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "/myfile.txt")

Using sendfile is advertised to be the most efficient way to send a
file to the client.

Regards,
Nicolas
