While creating blog post with cyrillic (i.e., non-ascii) title I got this error message:

This is a working server with python 2.6, fastcgi+nginx (via flup).
While running this on localhost with python 2.5 on test built-in server, this works fine. Could it be because of python 2.6?

hmm.. weird.. it could be that something has changed in the way urlencode works..

but what i don't understand - shouldn't the slug filter out all non-ascii characters? have you changed the slug manually or was it autogenerated?

I'm not sure if the the problem is with slug itself. Even when the slug contains ascii characters, error is still the same. However the name of the category is cyrillic ("Новости"). This error doesn't happed on python 2.5 (I've mentioned this already) and when posting to ordinary board categories.
