Submit the form causing the errors with unicode characters (e.g.é) in it!
This is a very common error in Django projects and it almost always means you are calling str() somewhere. Django uses unicode strings internally but when you call str() you are asking Python to give you an ascii string back, which fails with this message.
If you give us more info, we'll be able to help you further.
Good luck!

Or, alternatively, you're (implicitly) returning
str inside a __unicode__ method.Have you left any debug prints in your view? That will cause a conversion to the console's encoding, which may be ascii causing this error.
