it's a known problem, try to search japperpy.sourceforge.net mailing
list archives for more details (there's a thread from 12.2001 concerning

it doesn't work this way, don't ask my why :) to switch to utf-8, edit
your site.py and change the line that says "encoding = 'ascii'" to
"encoding = 'UTF-8'"
