unicode-branch - non-ascii passwords don't work

[anonymous]

UnicodeEncodeError is thrown if an non-ascii password is set. This problem can be solved by the attached patch.

I realize that in python 2.4 only string argument can be used in methods md5.new and sha.new. In python 2.5 unicode argument is also acceptable.

Simple test:

#!/usr/bin/python
# encoding: UTF-8

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
User().set_password(u'příliš žlouťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy')

Good fix. This will be forwards compatible, too, which is important.
