Python UnicodeDecodeError: кодек «ascii» не может декодировать байт 0xe2, порядковый номер которого не находится в диапазоне (128)

Я пытаюсь написать свое первое приложение в Google App Engine с Python (ссылка на приложение:http://contractpy.appspot.com/ - это всего лишь экспериментальное приложение). Весь код ниже.

Но когда я отправляю данные, я получаю эту ошибку (показанную в журналах):

(...) line 265, in get "contractType":geted_contractType
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 949: ordinal not in range(128)

Строка 265 находится в этом блоке if:

self.response.out.write(yourcontract % {"resident":geted_resident_name,
                                      "nacionality":geted_user_nacionality,
                                      "SSN":geted_user_SSN,
                                      "SSN_error":geted_SSN_error,
                                      "driverLicense":geted_user_driverLicense,
                                      "email":geted_user_email,
                                      "witness ":geted_witness ,
                                      "owner":geted_owner,
                                      "contractType":geted_contractType
                                      })

Я пытался внести изменения, читать подобные ответы (какэтот или жеэтот), но ничего не помогло. Я не могу понять, что происходит в этом коде. Может кто-нибудь разобраться в чем причина такой ошибки и как ее исправить?

Я использую Python 2.7.

Заранее благодарю за любую помощь!
