Sorry for this stupid question, but how can I convert unicode to string.
I ask that because I hit an error (perhaps a bug) in mod_wsgi, and that
crash the apache process :
TypeError: sequence of string values expected, value of type unicode found
RuntimeError: generator ignored GeneratorExit
child pid 16211 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
