plz help to delete this issue or remove my blog address...
This problem is caused by using new Python/BeautifulSoup. Using Python 2.5.4 &
Beautiful Soup 3.0.6 works fine.

Change the __new__ method for NavigableString in Beautiful Soup can fix this:   

    def __new__(cls, value):
        """Create a new NavigableString.

        When unpickling a NavigableString, this method is called with
        the string in DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ENCODING. That encoding needs to be
        passed in to the superclass's __new__ or the superclass won't know
        how to handle non-ASCII characters.
        """
        if isinstance(value, unicode):
            return unicode.__new__(cls, value)
        elif isinstance(value, Tag):
            print value
            return unicode.__new__(cls, value.__str__(), DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ENCODING)
        else:
            return unicode.__new__(cls, value, DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ENCODING)

oops, that "print value" is for debugging, you should remove it.
