Fails if I try to use non-english language

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to "Waves"
2. Type "В рот мне ноге" In New Wave's title field
3. Press Create

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect a new wave to be created, but instead it fails epically:

What browser are you using? Which version?
Google Chrome   3.0.196.0 (Official Build 22005)
WebKit  532.0
V8  1.2.14.14
User Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0

Please provide any additional information below.

It looks like pygowave is blissfully unaware of any characters not in 
LATIN1.
