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

What I needed:

    tmpl_options['mako.input_encoding'] =3D 'UTF-8'
    tmpl_options['mako.output_encoding'] =3D 'UTF-8'
    tmpl_options['mako.default_filters'] =3D ['decode.utf8']
    request_settings =3D dict(charset=3D'utf-8', errors=3D'replace')
    return pylons.config.Config(tmpl_options, map,
paths,request_settings=3Drequest_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 cita=E7=E3o", h.url(action=3D"new"))}

(Note the u before "Nova cita=E7=E3o").

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