Well, I asked before search the in the list archives!

What I needed:

tmpl_options['mako.input_encoding'] = 'UTF-8'
tmpl_options['mako.output_encoding'] = 'UTF-8'
tmpl_options['mako.default_filters'] = ['decode.utf8']
request_settings = dict(charset='utf-8', errors='replace')
return pylons.config.Config(tmpl_options, map,
paths,request_settings=request_settings)

In environment.py

I changed my formencode validator to: UnicodeString and now it's ok.

But I'm with a doubt:

Even with this, in my templates I've to use:

${h.link_to(u"Nova citação", h.url(action="new"))}

(Note the u before "Nova citação").

How can I configure this to avoid to say that this is string is unicode?
