Values in the INI file are supposed to be in ASCII. If you want to set a site_title containing non-ASCII characters, you get an UnicodeDecoeError (in chameleon). There should be some way to set e.g. unicode values in the INI file. As far as I understood Pyramid's documentation on this, its the apps responsibility to convert the value bytestrings to Python types. It would be nice to be able to specify values like u"the_value" in the settings. But maybe there is a better solution. Any ideas?
