By not mixing unicode and str together. Either you decode your str to
become unicode objects using the proper encoding - or you encode the
unicode-objects before:
string = "a string"
u_string = string.decode("ascii") # or whatever you need
print u"%s %s" % (u'Salut', u_string)
Or:
salut_string = u"Salut".encode("utf-8") # whatever encoding you need
print u"%s %s" % (salut_string, "foo")
