Encoding error in settings

[sofakissen]

Entering special characters in the settings page leads to an error: ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

Edit: error also occures when entering special character as location when adding new hardware (i.e. "Köln")

Edit 2: actualy, this error occurs everythere ;)

You currently have to patch geopy.
replace the line 81 in the geocoders/google.py file with the following:
url = self.url % urlencode(dict([k, v.encode('utf-8')] for k, v in params.items()))
