6052	SafeUnicode is not type.UnicodeType  in _mysql.connection.escape	Alexander	nobody	"Hello.

cleaned_data['content'] is type django.utils.safestring.SafeUnicode

This get error when recording in a database.

Because, the function can only identify unicode or any other as string.

In _mysql.c:
static PyObject * _escape_item( PyObject *item, PyObject *d){ PyObject *quoted=NULL, *itemtype, *itemconv;
    if (!(itemtype = PyObject_Type(item))) goto error;
    itemconv = PyObject_GetItem(d, itemtype);

Temporary solution to the problem:  unicode(cleaned_data['content'])
