Entry content as unicode

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to implement a SimpleTAL-based renderer plugin for pyblosxom.
SimpleTAL requires TALES context contain only Unicode strings, but most
of entry parsers read entry content as byte strings without conversion.

Currently I'm converting to Unicode within the the plugin, but I'm not sure
which encoding should I use. Should I get it from blog locale or from
blog_encoding parameter?

P.S.
It is probably better to do conversion in entry parsers, but in this case
we need to modify entry parsers plugin, am I right?

Thanks,
Andrey Bondarenko
