Render Captcha widget

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi!
I tryed to use your application for one of my project.
When I ran it on developer server all OK.
When I ran it on Apache I saw error log at rendering.

Steps to reproduce:
1)Make view where form with CapthaField creates;
2)Make template in which form is passed;
3)Open page corresponds this view;
4)Wath debug log.

To fix this trouble I've done following:
In render method for CaptchaWidget:

from django.utils.encoding import smart_unicode
return smart_unicode(super(CaptchaTextInput, self).render(name, value, 
attrs=attrs))

Used environment:
python 2.7.1
django 1.3.1 final
Apache 2.2

With best regard,
Poloskin Valentin.

Of cource. It is shown below.
In Django Documentation strongly recommended use *_unicode functions
everywhere your code will be rendered later.
