Thank you M. I ran a URL test on another Python based app and noticed that creating a URL with accents results in a non-accented URL. So for example creating a folder called "Marie-Josée" results in a folder titled Marie-Josée (with the URL "marie-josee"). I am guessing they have a little conversion script that takes care of this somewhere in that towering stack of code, or that Python has a built in utility for this.
Just for fun I tried searching for "é" via the Plone ZMI admin interface results in this: We're sorry, but there seems to be an error… Since you are a site administrator, you can see the full error message Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 313, in __call__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 350, in _bindAndExec Module App.special_dtml, line 178, in _exec Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 61, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 196, in eval - __traceback_info__: _ Module <string>, line 0, in ?
