Perhaps try this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/modpython/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror. Though that is in with the mod_python doc, it is not a mod_python specific problem. In general, no matter what deployment environment, your environment must be set to allow unicode to be passed to file functions, if you want to be able to manipulate files that contain non-ASCII characters.
Also, you should really update to a 1.2 release level. Why are you running alpha?
