It seems that running encoder.encode() on a latin1/latin9 string results
in, yes a bloody UnicodeDecodeError. Decode error on .encode()...
Really. This way the modification from non-unicode string to real
unicode appears to work better.
The strings (names) as stored in database should always be UTF-8;
whatever the display locale is, we then need to convert from the storage
encoding to session encoding. When making database queries with players
names in them, the names must be reconverted to UTF-8.
If the system (display) locale is UTF-8, there is no need to encode to
either direction. In fact, running the .encode() routine appears to
mangle a valid UTF-8 string to a worse condition, effectively breaking
it.

The names are stored in UTF-8, so simply converting the name from UTF-8
to Configuration.LOCALE_ENCODING before putting the string in tooltip is
enough. Neat.

The names should be always in UTF-8 encoding. At least for PostgreSQL
the encdoding of the database comes from the time of running 'initdb'
(which is different from 'createdb') and if the encoding was selected or
set to something else at that time, the following error will occur:
File ".../pyfpdb/Database.py", line 1630, in <lambda>
self.pcache = LambdaDict(lambda key:self.insertPlayer(key, siteid))
File ".../pyfpdb/Database.py", line 1661, in insertPlayer
c.execute (q, (site_id, _name))
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/encodings/iso8859_15.py", line 12, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_table)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u2122' in
position 10: character maps to <undefined>
This happens because 'name' is a regular string as opposed to a valid
unicode object. By forcing the string to unicode and encoding it in
UTF-8 the error goes away. In my case the database encoding was
ISO-8859-15 (latin9) but any other "wrong" encoding would trigger the
same problem.
This is a relatively common problem in python.
