UnicodeEncodeError occurs on Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I try to delete Picasa Web Album which has Unicode(kanji) album title.
However, UnicodeEncodeError occur.

command and error message as follows:
===============================================
C:\tools\googlecl-0.9.11-win32\dist>google picasa delete -title ".*ほげ.*"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "google", line 812, in <module>
  File "google", line 798, in main
  File "google", line 577, in run_once
  File "googlecl\picasa\service.pyo", line 457, in _run_delete
  File "googlecl\base.pyo", line 98, in delete_entry_list
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 39-42: 
ordinal not in range(128)
===============================================

googlecl is 0.9.11, running on Windows XP SP3 32bit

Could you fix UnicodeEncodeError as quick as you can?

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

This seems to be fixed in 0.9.12, but I unfortunately haven't made a 0.9.12 
windows executable yet.

I will hopefully get an executable built soon, but in the meantime, use the 
0.9.12 version from the tarball if you can.

Has this been solved with 0.9.13?

Unfortunately, the support for Unicode still doesn't work. I want create an 
album as "München". But doesn't work because of the umlaut. Please fix the 
issue. Thank you!

googlecl seems to no activity for a year. :-(

Then, I published free tool for Picasa Web Album that handle albums with 
UNICODE.
