Maybe
name = unicode('Anton\xc3\xadn Dvo\xc5\x99\xc3\xa1k', "utf-8")
? Yup, that works:
>>> name = unicode('Anton\xc3\xadn Dvo\xc5\x99\xc3\xa1k', "utf-8")
>>> name
u'Anton\xedn Dvo\u0159\xe1k'
>>> surname = r'(?u).+ (\w+)'
>>> import re
>>> surname_re = re.compile(surname)
>>> m = surname_re.search(name)
>>> m.groups()
(u'Dvo\u0159\xe1k',)
