Hmmm...if you're interested in working on PL/Python, then you might
mosey over to pgsql-hackers and see the "process crash when a
plpython function returns unicode" thread:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-06/msg00806.php
I was going to submit a simple patch to fix the immediate problem,
calling ereport(ERROR, ...) if PyObject_Str() returned NULL. I
haven't decided on an error message yet, not being sure if I should
hard-code something generic or if there's a way to get a more
specific error message from Python. Tino Wildenhain followed up
with a suggestion to improve PL/Python's Unicode support. Is that
anything you'd be interested in working on? If so then please reply
to the thread in pgsql-hackers to keep the discussion in one place
(I already moved it to -hackers from -bugs because the former seemed
more a appropriate place for extended discussion).
