Hi Aaron,
Sorry for my weird comment on ticket. 2588 - I should have spent more
time discussing what I really meant.
I'm not sure why 0x2f would ever be a chinese character. URLs are
supposed to be encoded as UTF8 as per RFC 2718 and RFC 3986.
Using GB18030 and GB2312, I get this:
In [6]: '/'.decode('gb18030')
Out[6]: u'/'
In [7]: '/'.decode('gb2312')
Out[7]: u'/'
How are you getting a chinese block character for 0x2f?
If you want to handle 'unicode' URLs, you should assume that the URLs
are UTF8 and decode the path as such.

In my UTF8 decoding middleware layer, I have a little bit of code that
forces the path to be decoded as UTF8, then as latin1 so that i get a
transient unicode string.
I then re-encode the data back to utf8 (since it might have been latin1).
That *should* handle your problem. I haven't specifically tested
against chinese, but it does work with "Åland Islands".
Give it a try and if it doesn't work - I'll see if I can tweak my
middleware a bit.

In the interest of making 'pretty' URLs, I want my application to

Is there any way to accomplish what I want? On Trac and the mailing
list I found some [efforts] [2] by Victor Ng to Unicode-ify things,
but nothing seems to ever have been made of them. The last
modification to that ticket gives what sounds like a solution, but
honestly I can't say that I understand exactly what it says.
Any tips?
