Support multibyte filename

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I got the following:
Caught an exception while rendering: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3
in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

models.py
Before:
290    def image_filename(self):
291        return os.path.basename(self.image.path)

After:
290    def image_filename(self):
291        return os.path.basename(self.image.path.decode('utf8'))
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have the same error.

Also, in admin  models.py:

Before:
293         size = getattr(size, 'name', size)
294         base, ext = os.path.splitext(self.image_filename())

After:
293         size = getattr(size, 'name', size)
294         base, ext = os.path.decode('utf8').splitext(self.image_filename())

Works for me. I'm using Python 2.5, django 1.1 SVN-11368

@Comment 2 by dreglad:
Did not work. AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'decode'

I had problem where thumbnails were missing from certain files due to either 
latin characters and spaces. To work around this I've used this code:

utils.py:
========

import unicodedata

def get_ascii_safe_path(test, filename):
    return unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', unicode(filename.replace(' ', '_'))).encode('ascii', 'ignore')

settings.py
===========

PHOTOLOGUE_PATH = 'utils.get_ascii_safe_path'

It resolves all encoding related issues with file names, but it would be nice 
to have photologue to do the sanitizing part out of the box..

Just an update for the comment I left above. Here's an updated function that 
takes into account the storage path:

def get_ascii_safe_path(test, filename):
    folder = getattr(settings, 'PHOTOLOGUE_DIR', 'photologue')
    name   = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', unicode(filename.replace(' ', '_'))).encode('ascii', 'ignore')
    return os.path.join(folder, 'photos', name)

This is not the end of the story thought, when deleting a photo the file and 
thumbnails are not deleted from the filesystem as it should anymore. This 
problem is getting messy...
